Ever since 9/11 America has fought an endless war on terror, seeking enemies everywhere and never promising peace. In Pay Any Price, James Risen reveals an extraordinary litany of the hidden costs of that war: from squandered and stolen dollars, to outrageous abuses of power, to wars on normalcy, decency, and truth. In the name of fighting terrorism, our government has done things every bit as shameful as its historic wartime abuses -- and until this book, it has worked very hard to cover them up. Lincoln suspended habeas corpus. FDR authorized the internment of thousands of Japanese Americans. Presidents Bush and Obama now must face their own reckoning. Power corrupts, but it is endless war that corrupts absolutely"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.931 Ri Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 973.931 Ri Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.931 Risen Checked In Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.931 Ri Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.931 Ri Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.931 Ri Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.931 Ri Checked In Add Copy to MyList
