This is an incredible insight into the covert world of information assurance within the context of global warfare. The book details the capture of detainees, the process of obtaining information from them, and insights into the lives of the men and women that play this dangerous game of interrogation. This book is extremely detailed, perhaps to a fault, as the day-to-day details of even the most minute interest are covered. The book reads longer than it should be, but it is still a good read.

This book is not what you expect about "interrogation". It is a highly detailed first person discussion about how our
military got information from Afghan, Pakistani, and assorted other Arab freedom fighters and the difficulties encountered by only being allowed to use "Kidd gloves". It describes the evolution and trickery of their techniques and the daily long hours to obtain minute details.
