A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

'Explosive' Guardian 'Chilling' Daily Telegraph
'The book . . . carries unusual authority since it was written by Ron Suskind, one of America's most respected and best-informed investigative reporters . . . Fascinating'
Independent
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and bestselling author Ron Suskind takes you deep inside America's real battles with violent, unrelenting terrorists - a game of kill or be killed, from the Oval Office to the streets of Karachi.
What is the guiding principle of the world's most powerful nation as it searches for enemies at home and abroad? The One Percent Doctrine is the deeply secretive core at the heart of America's real playbook: a default strategy, designed by Dick Cheney, that separates America from its moorings, and has driven everything - from war in Afghanistan to war in Iraq to the global search for jihadists. With unparalleled access to senior officials, Ron Suskind finally answers the questions that keep Westerners awake at night.
'An important book, filled with the surest sign of great reporting: the unexpected. It enriches our understanding of even familiar episodes from the Bush administration's war on terror and tells some jaw-dropping stories we haven't heard before'
Washington Post
'Riveting . . . adds some big, revealing chunks to the evolving jigsaw-puzzle portrait of this White House and its modus operandi'

'Explosive' Guardian 'Sensational' Daily Telegraph
'The book . . . carries unusual authority since it was written by Ron Suskind, one of America's most respected and best-informed investigative reporters. Chilling . . . Suskind's book also paints a fascinating picture of the tense, unreliable nature of US-Saudi co-operation on counter-terrorism' INDEPENDENT
'Many useful nuggets of information' MORNING STAR
'Chilling' DAILY TELEGRAPH
'Valuable . . . That it works as well as it does is testimony to the author's narrative skills' INTERNATIONAL HERALD TRIBUNE
'Riveting . . . [Suskind's book] adds some big, revealing chunks to the evolving jigsaw-puzzle portrait of this White House and its modus operandi, while also giving the reader some up close and personal looks at the government's day-to-day operations in the war on terror' NEW YORK TIMES
'This is an important book, filled with the surest sign of great reporting: the unexpected. It enriches our understanding of even familiar episodes from the Bush administration's war on terror and tells some jaw-dropping stories we haven't heard before . . . gripping . . . impressively reported . . . Full of amazing, persuasively detailed vignettes about [the terror-fighter's] world'
ASHINGTON POST
'Living in Washington DC, I find a new political tract in my mail every other day, but Ron Suskind's The One Percent Doctrine remains memorable, and disheartening'
Alice McDermott, Irish Times 12/12
