In his explosive new book, New York Times best-selling author Bill Gertz uncovers the most significant threat to U.S. national security today: America's enemies, including radical terrorist groups, are arming themselves with the world's most dangerous weapons. And they're doing it with the help of America's supposed allies. Worst of all, the United States has let it happen.

Using his unparalleled access to the U.S. intelligence and defense communities, Gertz names names, revealing which of our "friends" have placed greed over principle to make America's enemies far more deadly and the world a far more dangerous place. In Treachery, Gertz tells the whole story, complete with previously unpublished classified intelligence documents, based on dozens of exclusive interviews with senior U.S. officials, including Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.

You Need to Know What's in this Book

I love a book that forgets the lines of party and division and just puts the truth out there for all to dissect. Let the pundits spin it but in the end, there is the truth. That's the feeling I had throughout listening to this book. Mr. Gertz pulled no punches and let the chips fall where the may. This is one of the most enlightening books I've read regarding the modern stance of America in the world today.

Enlightening!

What disappointed you about Treachery?

I know this book is a bit dated but I decided to revisit it. With hindsight being 20/20 this was just a propaganda piece.

Would you ever listen to anything by Bill Gertz again?

NO

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Alan Sklar?

Alan Sklar wasn't the problem, he was fine.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

As it turned out Gertz wrote this book basically based on interviews with the very characters that we now know weren’t telling the truth to the American public.

Any additional comments?

This is not the first time this has happen and won’t be the last, when will people learn?

Full of falsehoods

If you like your news from Fox, you'll like this screed. Intersperced with what probably are some good points and true facts are piles of steaming right wing screed. Everyone that has a different opinion from us is our enemy, and the US never did anything to arm our enemies. What about Rumsfield travelling to Iraq in '89? Where did those weapons come from then? How about the CIA coup of the democratically elected Iran in '53?

If you like your international politics clean and simple, enjoy this tale. Then go get some freedom fries.

Treachery - reactionary is more like it
