An Amazon Best Book of April 2016: There are many exceptional accounts written about the war in Iraq--so many that, despite their merits, I must admit to experiencing a bit of “war book” fatigue. So, for a story of this stripe to rise above the fray, it has to possess something special that sets it apart. Eric Fair’s Consequence very much does. Chronicling his experiences as an interrogator in prisons, including the infamous Abu Ghraib, Fair’s disarmingly matter-of-fact memoir addresses the moral ambiguity and emotional toll our soldiers’ actions take. Yes, Consequence fuels the debate about enhanced interrogation techniques, but in a human rather than partisan way, and in doing so, holds a mirror to the country’s face and asks: Do you like what you see? --Erin Kodicek
