Angler: The Cheney Vice Presidency
Barton Gellman shared the Pulitzer Prize in 2008 for his work on Dick Cheney's domestic agenda in The Washington Post. In Angler, Gellman takes on the full scope of Cheney's work and its consequences, including his hidden role in the Bush administration's most fateful choices in war: shifting focus from al Qaeda to Iraq, unleashing the National Security Agency to spy at home, and promoting cruel and inhumane methods of interrogation. Packed with fresh insights and untold stories, Gellman parts the curtains of secrecy to show how the vice president operated and what he wrought.
