Hayalet Savaşları/2005 Pulitzer Ödüllü

The book covers a complex web of events and decisions. I'm curious what motivated the author to highlight certain operations over others and how that shaped the narrative.

The book offers a dense amount of information, which can be both enlightening and daunting. How did readers find navigating the extensive background and characters involved?

There are many key players in this history, and focusing on specific individuals can shift the perspective. What do you think guided the author's choices in character focus?
