Publisher's Synopsis
Some argued it would save the U.S. after 9/11. Instead, the CIA's enhanced interrogation program came to be defined as American torture. The Forever Prisoner, a primary source for the recent HBO Max film directed by Academy Award winner Alex Gibney, exposes the full story behind the most divisive CIA operation in living memory.
"A deeply reported and well written account of Abu Zubaydah's descent into the darkest reaches of the war on terror and of Jim Mitchell who engineered the CIA's coercive interrogation program. It is a key account of the post-9/11 era." - Peter Bergen, author of The Rise and Fall of Osama bin Laden
