Publisher's summary

From the Amazon best-selling authors of the Red Storm series....

Have you ever wondered what really goes on in those poorly lit interrogation rooms overseas?

Are you prepared to travel down a dark path into a world few know of...and even fewer have ever talked about?

In 2006, when the Iraq War was all but lost, a new strategy was implemented - not only would America place combat troops in nearly every village and city across Iraq, the US would systematically hunt down every terrorist and insurgent group operating in the country. However, that strategy relied upon the success of a small interrogation unit within Task Force 134 to find, locate, and eliminate these threats to peace and stability within Iraq.

Interview with a Terrorist follows James Rosone’s true-life story as he joined the interrogation team to try and make a difference in the conflict in Iraq. Learn what it was like to interrogate Al Qaeda prisoners and how he met the challenge of obtaining intelligence without the use of torture.

Experience what it’s like to sit across the table from some of the world’s most evil terrorists - men who just hours ago killed dozens of civilians or American soldiers. Experience the thrill of a capture mission that goes well and the sinking depression and anger of a mission that goes horribly wrong.

If you like insights into hidden worlds, conspiracies unraveled, and raw portrayals of American soldiers’ experiences, you’ll love Rosone’s frank and uncensored autobiography.

James Rosone has spent over 2,000 hours interrogating Al Qaeda terrorists, cracking their secrets to prevent attacks against US and Iraqi forces. He helped uncover terrorist cells operating in Europe, East Africa, and in the US homeland. All the while, he endured challenges few civilians could imagine.

Would you be willing to make the same sacrifice for your country?

Grab your copy and find out what goes on in one of the dirtiest jobs of any war.

Everyone should read this book

As a retired military guy it brought tears to my eyes at times. I'll never forget being called a "baby killer" when I came back in 1970 after two years. It never ceases to amaze me how the pc lawyers and politicians who are too good to ever put a uniform on can send us in to do their dirty work and then call us criminals for doing our duty. Within the sometimes suicidal rules they concoct.

A must read

A must read if you truly want to cut through media hype and get a true picture of how our country treats those who are captured during times of war. Learn why waterboarding is NOT the most viable way for our country to get strategic and valuable information on the front lines. This book gives the reader a much different perspective of terrorism and the intricacies of world politics and interrelationships.

Couldn't stop listening!

I have a growing respect for our military interrogators for what they must do within mandated & restrictive US interrogation rules. I pray that the author has made a full recovery from his war experience and thank him for sharing his story. I hope that he can find fulfillment in the public sector as much as he did as an interrogator.
The Audio performance was an added bonus! The narrator has a wonderful, smooth, easy listening voice which ensured I 'read this cover to cover' in a very short time.

Intriguing & Insightful, A Must Read

This book reveals the truth about America's interrogation tactics, and is a compelling read! James is intelligent in his approach with the enemy, reminding me of the saying, "Be wise as serpents and innocent as doves," and because of this effort, lives have been saved. When you read this book, you will have a greater appreciation for those who serve our great country behind enemy lines! Thank you James for your service!

Great book!!

What a truly impactful book. It's refreshing to hear true stories of those that have served overseas. I have such respect for those that have served in our nation's military, and I appreciate the Insight that James has shown us about the real truth of interrogators.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I knew from the summary would find it interesting but I didn't realize just how much. James Rosone writes a very descriptive account of his time spent in Iraq interviewing detainees suspected of acts of terrorism. Although I'm sure that there is much that was censored due to the sensitive nature of the information, he writes with a lot of clarity to help the reader truly understand what the job entailed and what the experience was like. He also shares about the difficulties of his transition back to the states and to family life.

Worth reading

I don’t know what I was expecting but was much different than other books that touched on The HUMMIT part of Intel gathering. The details of the training and actual interrogations were very insightful. I am a trained tactical Intel guy who got the short course (TIOC) to work in Intel at BN & BDE level so this was a great help in seeing what I had missed out on.

Very interesting

I read this in one day. I found it to be interesting and covering an area of the war not usually talked about. The writing is well done and flows easily. Very good book.

I couldn't put this down

I've read other books by Mr. Rosone and I did not expect this to be as good as it was. I'm retired military and the authors portrayal of "life in the sandbox" provides a very realistic backdrop for his incredible detailed (probably as detailed as you can get without being classified) discussions about how information was extracted from enemy combatants. The book reads like the the author is sitting across the table from you while telling his story. Highly recommended. You're a true patriot Mr. Rosone...and you'd probably deny it, but a hero, as well.
