“This book has to be read,” – Newsweek.

"Devastating", Ian Buruma, – New York Review of Books

“A tightly knit and damning narrative… one of the most devastating of the many books on Iraq.” – NYTimes Book Review

“Enormous punch… an old-fashioned shocker… The directness and the smashing effectiveness of… Philip Gourevitch’s exemplary book will take its toll for years.” – The NY Observer
 
“Fascinating book,” – The Economist

“Gourevitch's eye for telling detail evokes the best of The New Yorker tradition, Capote's In Cold Blood, Hersey's Hiroshima… Standard Operating Procedure is essential reading for our time.” -- The Tennessean

“As much a page-turner as any fictional thriller… A thorough, terrifying account of an American-made “bedlam,” the latest from Gourevitch is as troubling, and arguably as important, as his 1998 Rwanda investigation We Wish to Inform You that Tomorrow We Will be Killed with Our Families.” – Publishers Weekly

A “gut wrenching morality check” – NPR’s Talk of the Nation.

“A compelling story… [Gourevitch] is a master of looking more closely, which means both more sympathetically and more critically… Gourevitch’s account takes us outside the frame, giving us the chance to understand the dynamic of the unit in which violence and romance were SOP… The book shows how lawlessness became the law.” – The LA Times

“Remarkable,” The Denver Post.
 
“Admirable… remarkable power,” the NYT – Michiko Kakutani
 
“Admirable… Gourevitch brings to this study of the Abu Ghraib scandal the same graceful balancing of reportage and insight that marked his extraordinary book on the Rwandan genocide, We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families… the shocks arrive through language alone.” – Time Out NY.
