The Matador's Cape delves into the causes of the catastrophic turn
in American policy at home and abroad since 9/11. In a collection
of searing essays, the author explores Washington's inability to
bring 'the enemy' into focus, detailing the ideological,
bureaucratic, electoral and (not least) emotional forces that
severely distorted the American understanding of, and response to,
the terrorist threat. He also shows how the gratuitous and
disastrous shift of attention from al Qaeda to Iraq was shaped by a
series of misleading theoretical perspectives on the end of
deterrence, the clash of civilizations, humanitarian intervention,
unilateralism, democratization, torture, intelligence gathering and
wartime expansions of presidential power. The author's breadth of
knowledge about the War on Terror leads to conclusions about
present-day America that are at once sobering in their depth of
reference and inspiring in their global perspective.
