'The war on terrorism is the first political growth industry of the new Millennium' - so begins Bovard's provocative and unrelenting examination of the Bush administration and its motives for prosecuting a war on Iraq that was wildly unpopular in the United States as well as throughout much of the world. Bovard is one of Washington's most controversial journalists, known for the searchlight he has shone on the trampling of civil liberties and privacy by successive US administrations. In this, his latest book, he tells a grisly story of the toll that the 'war on terrorism' is taking - from airport security follies that protect no one, to increased surveillance of individuals and skyrocketing numbers of detainees. In so doing, he reveals some fascinating insights into the US's coping mechanisms when under threat. His uncompromising and impassioned stance against a state that tramples personal freedoms and ignores the wishes of its citizens will strike a chord with many.

Review:
"'Meticulously documented from contemporary news accounts, this rant against Bush's 'aura of righteousness' may well leave readers as angry as its author.' - Publishers Weekly; 'No one is spared in Bovard's merciless review of our spectacularly unsuccessful war on terrorism.' - Justin Raimondo, American Conservative; 'It is rare to read such a well-documented study that flows so smoothly.... Terrorism and Tyranny is a timely, troubling book, exhaustively and impeccably researched and documented. One need not agree with all Mr. Bovard's conclusions or arguments to welcome it as an important, indeed essential, guide to the complex issues with which we must now grapple.' - Martin Sieff, Washington Times"
