The Power of Nightmares


(now available!)

"Both [the Islamists and Neoconservatives] were idealists
who were born out of the failure
of the liberal dream to build a better world.
And both had a very similar explanation
for what caused that failure.
These two groups have changed the world,
but not in the way that either intended.
Together, they created today's nightmare vision
of a secret, organized evil that threatens the world.
A fantasy that politicians then found restored their power
and authority in a disillusioned age.


And those with the darkest fears became the most powerful."
