From the New York Times bestselling author of Conspiracy of Fools and The Informant, a meticulously researched, page-turning, behind-closed-doors account of the first 500 days after 9/11, focusing on those tasked with protecting citizens in the attack’s aftermath.
From the New York Times bestselling author comes the first narrative history of the eighteen months that changed the world forever. In 500 Days, master chronicler Kurt Eichenwald recounts the harrowing decisions, deceptions, and delusions as world leaders desperately raced to protect their citizens in the aftermath of 9/11. A sweeping true thriller, 500 Days takes readers behind the scenes in the corridors of power, from the Oval Office to Number 10 Downing Street, from the Palais de l`Élysée to the Kremlin, from Guantanamo Bay to the secret prisons in Eastern Europe, from the depths of CIA headquarters to the highest reaches of the Pentagon, from the al Qaeda training camps to the torture chambers of Egypt and Syria. Eichenwald reveals previously undisclosed information from the terror wars, including never-before-reported details about warrantless wiretapping, the anthrax attacks and investigations, conflicts between Washington and London, and an array of other historic events. With his signature fast-paced narrative style that has been likened to Grisham, Clancy, and le Carré, Eichenwald lays bare a world of secrets that has remained hidden for far too long.
