The Terror Dream

Fear and Fantasy in Post-9/11 America
Feb 01, 2015WVMLStaffPicks rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
Susan Faludi argues that a post-9/11 return to the myth of macho heroism and female frailty derives from colonial Puritan wars against the Indians and the cowboy conquest of the west. Insightful, darkly humorous and passionate, Faludi's original take on American popular culture, the media and the myth makers is ultimately a serious plea to get beyond the myths in critically examining the flaws in American foreign and domestic policy.
