Eric Fair's CONSEQUENCE Out Today
Eric Fair's new memoir, CONSEQUENCE is out today from Henry Holt, to great reviews:
"An important personal perspective is now provided by Eric Fair’s candid and chilling new book, “Consequence,” which is at once an agonized confession of his own complicity as an interrogator at Abu Ghraib and an indictment of the system that enabled and tried to justify torture.” - Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"Fair viscerally conveys what can go wrong, quickly and violently, in an interrogator’s locked room in a war zone, making this memoir essential reading in this presidential election year as candidates vying to be the next commander in chief debate, deplore or defend torture.” J. Kael Weston, The Washington Post
