Named one of the better Books of 2005 by The New York Times, The Washington Post Book World, The Boston Globe, The Chicago Tribune, The San Francisco Chronicle Book Review, The Los Angeles Times Book Review, The New York Times Book Review, USA Today, Time, and New York magazine.

The Assassins’ Gate: America in Iraq recounts the way the United States go about changing the history of the Middle East and became ensnared in a guerrilla war in Iraq. It brings alive individuals and ideas that created the Bush administration’s war policy and led America to the Assassins’ Gate—the primary point of entry in to the American zone in Baghdad.

The Assassins’ Gate also describes the area of the war in American life: the ideological battles in Washington that resulted in chaos in Iraq, the ordeal of the fallen soldier ’s family, and the political culture of the country too bitterly polarized to realize such a vast and morally complex undertaking. George Packer’s best-selling first-person narrative combines the scope associated with an epic history with the depth and intimacy of the novel, developing a masterful account of America’s most controversial foreign venture since Vietnam.
