Landes, a medievalist and historian of apocalyptic movements, takes
us through the first years of the third millennium (2000-2003),
documenting how a radical inability of Westerners to understand the
medieval mentality that drove Global Jihad prompted a series of
disastrous misinterpretations and misguided reactions that have
shaped our so-far unhappy century. These misinterpretations in
2000, 2001, 2002, and 2005, contributed fundamentally to the
ever-worsening moral and empirical disorientations of our
information elites (journalists, academics, pundits). So while
journalists reported Palestinian war propaganda as news (lethal
journalism), they were also reporting Jihadi war propaganda as news
(own-goal war journalism). These radical disorientations have
created our current dilemma of pervasive information distrust, deep
splits within the voting public in most democracies, the
politicization of science, and the inability of Western elites to
defend their civilization, and instead, to stand down before an
invasion.
