Fear

The History of a Political Idea

For many commentators, September 11 inaugurated a new era of fear. As Robin shows in his unsettling tour of the Western imagination, fear has shaped politics and culture since time immemorial--from the Garden of Eden to the Gulag Archipelago to today's headlines.
