Reviews

Osamah Khalil’s magisterial book could not be more timely. Relentlessly critical of six decades of US global policy, it challenges readers’ assumptions in a way that is intelligible, innovative, and deeply grounded in evidence. A World of Enemies should become required reading for students, scholars, policymakers, and the public. -- Richard H. Immerman, author of <i>Empire for Liberty</i> In A World of Enemies, Khalil paints a dark image of post-Vietnam America, where a fear of decline drives militarized wars against crime, drugs, and terrorism. This deeply researched book explains our present moment with great clarity, showing what links the ‘badlands’ targeted by imperial violence at home and abroad. -- Nathan J. Citino, author of <i>Envisioning the Arab Future</i>
