A searing critique of the myths behind America's "War on Terror" that shows it to be baseless, ineffective, and harmful.

"A counterblast to the conventional wisdom and mythologized history of Al-Qaeda that dismantles taken-for-granted assumptions." Michael Levi, Cardiff University "Transcending conventional misunderstandings, Naylor shows how some of our policies are built on a thin patch of ice. Irreverent and satirical in tone, his book is a counter-balance to too much that is taken for granted - even by many who should know better." Nikos Passas, College of Criminal Justice, Northeastern University
