More about the book
Exploring the paradox of U.S. foreign policy, the book examines how the "war on terror" is shaped by neoconservative narratives that frame conflicts in terms of absolute good versus evil. These narratives stem from a fear of the societal changes of the 1960s, leading to the portrayal of political opponents as "monsters" rather than complex individuals. By transferring this domestic conflict to the global stage, the approach ultimately undermines national security by ignoring the true causes of global issues.
