J. PATRICE MCSHERRY

BOOKS

The authoritative work on the origins, execution, and consequences of the invasion and war in Iraq.
The translated and updated version of PREDATORY STATES, published in Chile and Uruguay in 2009.
Drawing on a wealth of testimonies, declassified files, and Latin American primary sources, the book examines Operation Condor from numerous vantage points: its secret structures; its intelligence networks; its covert operations against dissidents; its political assassinations worldwide; its commanders and operatives; its links to the Pentagon and the CIA; and its extension to Central America in the 1980s.
The riveting story of Argentina's "dirty war" and the difficult transition to democracy, when the armed forces acted to condition and shape the system to conform to national security criteria.
