More about the book
Analyzing U.S. foreign policy, Ira Chernus argues that the "war on terror" is rooted in neoconservative narratives that misinterpret human nature and conflict. These policymakers, influenced by fears of societal changes from the 1960s, depict political adversaries as moral "monsters" rather than legitimate opponents. This perspective shifts domestic conflicts to a global stage, undermining genuine efforts for national security by failing to address the true causes of international strife.
