Why America Fights : Patriotism And War Propaganda From The Philippines To Iraq

  • Why America Fights : Patriotism And War Propaganda From The Philippines To Iraq

  • Attribution

    Susan A. Brewer

  • Publication Details

    Book, Oxford University Press, 2009

  • Description

    In World War II, Roosevelt’s Office of War Information avowed a “strategy of truth,” though government propaganda still depicted Japanese soldiers as buck-toothed savages. After examining the ultimately failed struggle to cast the Vietnam War in a favorable light, Brewer shows how the Bush White House drew explicit lessons from that history as it engaged in an unprecedented effort to sell a preemptive war in Iraq.

    The White House and the Middle East?from the Cold War to the War on Terror The Middle East is the beginning and the end of U.S. foreign policy: events there influence our alliances, make or break presidencies, govern the price of oil, and draw us into war. A World of Trouble is the Middle East book we need now: compulsively readable, free of cant and ideology, and rich in insight about the very human challenges a new president will face as he or she tries to restore America?s standing in the region.

They Knew They Were Right : The Rise Of The Neocons

  • They Knew They Were Right : The Rise Of The Neocons

  • Attribution

    Jacob Heilbrunn

  • Publication Details

    Book, 1st ed, Doubleday, 2008

  • Links

  • Description

    The neocons have become at once the most feared and reviled intellectual movement in American history. How did an obscure band of policy intellectuals, left for dead in the 1990s, suddenly rise to influence the Bush administration and revolutionize American foreign policy? Jacob Heilbrunn wittily and pungently depicts the government officials, pundits, and think-tank denizens who make up this controversial movement, bringing them to life against a background rich in historical detail and political insight. Decisively shaped by the immigrant exerience and the trauma of the Holocaust, they rose from the margins of political life to become an insurgent counter-establishment that challenged the old WASP foreign policy elite. Far from being chastened by the Iraq debacle, the neocons continue to guide foreign policy. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)
