The War on Terror: 20 Years of Bloodshed and
Delusion. From the beginning, the War on
Terror merged red-hot vengeance with calculated opportunism. Millions are still
paying the price.

The Terror of War: Two new books argue that the War on
Terror changed American politics, but what if the sources of its violence were
