But was Abu Zubaydah, who is still being indefinitely held by the United States under shadowy circumstances, the blue-ribbon capture that the Bush White House claimed he was? Authors John Kiriakou, who led the capture of Zubaydah, and Joseph Hickman, who took custody of him at Guantanamo, draw a far more complex and intriguing portrait of the al-Qaeda “mastermind” who became a symbol of torture and the “dark side” of US security. From a one-time American collaborator to a poster boy for waterboarding, Abu Zubaydah became a “convenient terrorist”—a way for US authorities to sell their “War on Terror” to the American people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hot Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47055586787568,"sku":"9781510711624","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781510711624_p0.jpg?v=1763721724","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781510711624","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
