War corrupts. Infinite conflict corrupts absolutely. Since 9/11 America has fought an unlimited conflict on terror, seeking opponents everywhere and never promising calmness. In Pay Any Price, James Risen reveals a fantastic litany of the invisible costs of that conflict: from squandered and taken dollars, to outrageous abuses of electric power, to wars on normalcy, decency, and fact. In the name of fighting with each other terrorism, our federal government has done things just as shameful as its historical wartime abuses - and until this audiobook, it has worked very hard for them up. Lincoln suspended habeas corpus. FDR authorized the internment of a large number of Japanese Americans. Presidents Bush and Obama now must face their own reckonings. Power corrupts, but it is unlimited conflict that corrupts absolutely.
