Susan Faludi and Lakshmi Chaudhry: The Terror Dream: Fear and Fantasy in Post-911 America

If you are wondering what’s come over America since 9/11, this is the book you’ve been waiting for. -- Katha Pollitt, The Nation

Susan Faludi, as always, is simply stunning. With heroic acuity, she digs through the mythological debris of the Bush era to recover the dark fairy tale - shades of white savagery on the early frontier - that underlies the vengeance fantasy we call the “war on terrorism.” -- Mike Davis

“Susan Faludi peels away the veneer of post-9/11 bravado to expose our
collective national psyche, bringing us face to face with our nation¹s
innermost fears and fantasies.” -- Elaine Tyler May

As Susan Faludi shows, no system has more completely failed us since 9/11 than the print and television media. Faludi demonstrates that this failure was not just a matter of neglect but of intent - in the service of a surprising ideological agenda. – Chalmers Johnson
