Fools' Crusade

The book critically examines the 'humanitarian' bombing of Yugoslavia as a pivotal event that garnered support for military interventions among the center-left. It highlights the role of media and politicians in perpetuating deception regarding U.S. military actions globally, from Iraq to Afghanistan. Diana Johnstone argues that external interventions exacerbate rather than resolve conflicts, asserting that the Kosovo War served as a prototype for future actions aimed at maintaining U.S. hegemony. The analysis reveals the underlying geopolitical motives behind these interventions.
