Mark Danner, author of Torture and Truth: America, Abu Ghraib, and the War on Terror, has written a brilliant account of how the Abu Ghraib scandal came about based in part on never before published documents and the challenges that it continues to raise. He has captured the fierce Administration debate over how to treat prisoners with a depth and clarity that has only been touched upon in the headlines.
On October 29, 2004, OSI-Washington, D.C. hosted a luncheon book discussion with Mark Danner at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
