About this title

Review:

"'Susan Faludi has written a brilliant, unsentimental, often darkly humorous account of America's nervous breakdown after 9/11' Publishers Weekly 'This is a book that had to be written, and only Susan Faludi could do it so brilliantly and engrossingly.' Barbara Ehrenreich, author of Nickel and Dimed 'Blistering and brilliant, The Terror Dream is cultural criticism at its best.' Peter Biskind, author of Easy Rider, Raging Bulls 'Susan Faludi, as always, is simply stunning. With heroic acuity, she digs through the mythological debris of the Bush era to recover the dark fairytale - shades of white savagery on the early Frontier - that founds the vengeance fantasy we call the "war on terrorism".' Mike Davis"
