    The Dark Side is a narrative account of the decisions the U.S. made after September 11, decisions that not only violated the Constitution, but also hampered the pursuit of Al Qaeda. In gripping detail, Jane Mayer relates specific cases, shown in real time against the larger tableau of Washington, looking at the intelligence gained and the price paid. In all cases, there were incalculable losses in terms of moral standing, our country's place in the world, and its sense of itself.

    Madeleine says: "Brilliant and Maddening"
    "What an appropriate title"

    Story
    Where does The Dark Side rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    Well researched and presented in a ballanced and cogent way. Where sources were available to be named these were cited so can be checked and where sources could not be named the appropriate caviat was in place


    What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?

    The detail and disturbing justification of the use of torture, which as has been correctly pointed up is counterproductive as well as morally indefensible
