Body of Lies (Paperback)

It`s a premise that harkens back to Akira Kurosawa`s YOJIMBO and Sergio Leone`s A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS and has historical basis in a British ploy used during World War II: when facing sinister factions, turn them against each other and against themselves. CIA agent Roger Ferris, stationed in Jordan after receiving an injury in Iraq, devises a brilliant plan to convince al-Qaeda terrorists that their leaders are cooperating with American intelligence. Ferris casts a web of lies and deception, hoping to trap the spiders, but soon he`s the one who runs the risk of being eaten. Written by Washington Post columnist David Ignatius, BODY OF LIES has a rare grasp of the fiendish complexities of the Middle East, and the politics and dangers of the region are drawn together into an intricate and unforgettable thriller.
