The Terror Dream: Fear and Fantasy in Post-9/11 America by Susan Faludi

5.0

This is the best thing I've read all year. Faludi's style is informational but compelling, so don't look for a ton of conversational style or intense slice of life pieces. Instead she piles on the facts, making for a weighty argument that feels completely fresh and previously unexplored.

The last third of the book is a movement in tone, as it focuses mostly on tying historical themes to the War on Terror. Its still really interesting, but it does feel like she's squeezing a lot in to one book. Still, totally satisfying, eye-opening read.
