Terrorism and Tyranny

"The war on terrorism is the first political growth industry of the new Millennium." So begins Jim Bovard's newest and, in some ways, most provocative book as he casts yet another jaundiced eye on Washington and the motives behind protecting "the homeland" and prosecuting a wildly unpopular war with Iraq. For James Bovard, as always, it all comes down to a trampling of personal liberty and an end to privacy as we know it. From airport security follies that protect no one to increased surveillance of individuals and skyrocketing numbers of detainees, the war on terrorism is taking a toll on individual liberty and no one tells the whole grisly story better than Bovard.

James Bovard

James Bovard is one of Washington's most controversial journalists. Since 1993, his writing has been denounced by a flock of government flunkies. Boward's books include The Fair Trade Fraud, The Bush Betrayal and Attention Deficit Democracy. He is a frequent contributor to the Wall Street Journal, Playboy and the American Spectator, and he has also written for The New York Times, Reader's Digest, New Republic, Washington Post and Newsweek.
