Louise Richardson reviews James Risen's PAY ANY PRICE in the 10/26 New York Times Book Review (online early):
“Risen’s fast-paced, accessible prose and his finely drawn detail make the book read like an implausible thriller. The tragedy is that, however implausible, it all appears to be true….enormously impressive… This is an important and powerful book that should be read by anyone who believes it is time to take stock after 13 years and re-evaluate the nature of the threat the country faces and its response to the atrocity of 9/11.”
