Synopsis

In this compelling big-picture assessment of the U.S. war on Iraq, Mahajan combines his experience as an anti–Iraq sanctions activist with a keen analysis of U.S. foreign policy in the post–Cold War era to provide the analysis that has been overlooked in the mainstream debate. Situating Iraq within the larger context of post-9/11 foreign policy, he analyzes the Bush National Security Strategy and the new neoconservative vision of achieving increasing degrees of global domination and control. Presented with unflinching clarity, Mahajan’s research demonstrates that the war on Iraq was part of a much larger plan, assembled before 9/11 and, as stated by the Project for a New American Century, needing only a "new Pearl Harbor" to implement it.

Review

"Praise for Rahul Mahajan's The New Crusade. America's War On Terrorism.: "The New Crusade is a sober, thoughtfully argued presentation not to be taken lightly and deserving of as wide a readership as possible. This is a highly recommended and welcome contribution to the current national dialogue regarding our 'war on terrorism.'"

"This is a well-researched and carefully argued polemic. It will be a vital aid to all those resisting the dominant culture in these conformist times."

"Mandatory reading for anyone who wants to get a handle on the war on terrorism....A truly brilliant introduction to the topic by an exciting new author."
