America and Islam After Iraq
by Michael Scheuer
When Michael Scheuer first questioned the goals of the Iraq War in his 2004
bestseller Imperial Hubris, policymakers and ordinary citizens alike
stood up and took notice. Now, Scheuer offers a scathing and frightening look
at how the Iraq War has been a huge setback to America's War on Terror, making
our enemy stronger and altering the geopolitical landscape in ways that are
profoundly harmful to U.S. interests and security concerns ....
Scheuer takes on the questions of "What went wrong?" and "How can we
fix this?" and proposes a plan to cauterize the damage that has already been
done and get American strategy back on track. He lists a number of painful
recommendations for how we must shift our ideological, military, and political
views in order to survive, even if that means disagreeing with Israeli policy or
launching more brutal campaigns against terrorists.
"Controversial in its details, Scheuer's analysis suffers fundamentally from "Occidentalism." Interpreting Islamic behavior as a consequence of American actions keeps the U.S. at the center of events in precisely the Cold War model Scheuer excoriates." - Publishers Weekly.
