Parables of Permanent War: Chronicles of Force and Folly Since 9/11

5/5 ( ratings)

Parables of Permanent War is a political, and, inescapably, moral chronicle of U.S. responses to the 9/11 attacks and the grave consequences at home and abroad. There is, or ought to be, no such thing as a 'permanent war, ' but U.S. elites are determined to pursue one. Bush's administration transformed a heinous criminal act of mass murder into a self-serving undeclared "war" against stateless foes. The authors reveal how a 'permanent war' suited the neoconservative advisors and the core of corporate and private donors that helped George W. Bush into office and shine a new light on the Bush administration's actions. Parables of Permanent War arranges essays around a number of parables, indicating the deeper dysfunctions and delusions that drive this ongoing permanent war.
