About the Book
Noam Chomsky and George W. Bush seldom agree, but both asserted that 9/11 stood alone in American history. Mark Anderson disagrees. Although the use of airplanes as weapons of mass destruction was new, Holy War demonstrates that America's response to the attack followed a legendary pattern as old as the Republic itself. "Holy War is a timely reminder of how Americans, for centuries, have understood their wars of aggression as ultimately justified and fundamentally innocent." - Boyd Cothran, author of Remembering the Modoc War
