The Assassins' Gate America in Iraq by George Packer Retail Price: $26.00 Our Price: $22.10 — save 15%! Adds 2 stamps to your Frequent  Buyer Card

The Assassins' Gate: America in Iraq recounts how the United States set about changing the history of the Middle East and became ensnared in a guerilla war in Iraq. It brings to life the people and ideas that created the Bush administration’s war policy and led America to the Assassins' Gate—the main point of entry into the American zone in Baghdad.

We see up close the struggles of American soldiers and civilians and Iraqis from all backgrounds, thrown together by a war that followed none of the preconceived scripts.
