Crusade : Chronicles of an Unjust War (The American Empire Project), by James Carroll, from Henry Holt & Co., ISBN 0805077030. With the words "this Crusade, this war on terror," George W. Bush defined the purpose of his presidency. In response, Boston Globe columnist James Carroll began a week-by-week argument with the administration, its exploitation of the nation's fears, invocations of a Christian mission, and efforts to overturn America's traditional relations with other nations and with Us, the People. This collection of searing columns delivers a comprehensive and tough-minded critique of the war on terror.
