Ever since 9/11, America has fought an endless war on terror, seeking enemies everywhere and never promising peace. In his new book, Pay Any Price: Greed, Power, and Endless War, JAMES RISEN reveals a litany of the hidden costs of that war: from squandered and stolen dollars, to abuses of power, to wars on normalcy, decency, and truth. Risen is an investigative journalist with the New York Times and author of the New York Times bestseller State of War: The Secret History of the CIA and the Bush Administration. In 2006, he won a Pulitzer Prize for his stories about warrantless wiretapping by the National Security Agency (NSA).
