In this harrowing and unprecedented memoir, a man questions everything--his faith, his morality, his country--as he recounts his experience with torture as an interrogator in Iraq

In 2004, as an interrogator for a government contractor, Eric Fair participated in or witnessed a variety of aggressive interrogation techniques to solicit the cooperation of Iraqi detainees. They included sleep deprivation, stress positions, diet manipulation, exposure, and isolation. Years after his time in Iraq, he is still haunted by what he took part in there. But as his health and his marriage deteriorate, Fair's desire to speak out about his experience becomes a key to his survival.

CONSEQUENCE is the story of a kid who grew up in the shadows of crumbling Bethlehem Steel plants nurturing a strong faith and a belief that he was called to serve his country. It is a story of a man who chases his own demons from Egypt, where he served as an Army translator, to a detention center in Iraq to seminary at Princeton to a heart transplant ward at the University of Pennsylvania. Written in spare and haunting prose devoid of justification, Eric Fair's memoir is the first of its kind: a brave, unrelenting confession of an interrogator and admitted torturer, and a book that questions the very depths of who he, and we as a country, have become.
