Parables of Permanent War is a political, and, inescapably, moral chronicle of U.S. responses to the 9/11 attacks, and the grave consequences at home and abroad. There is, or ought to be, no such thing as a 'permanent war,' but U.S. elites are determined to pursue one. Parables of Permanent War arranges essays around a number of parables, indicating the deeper dysfunctions and delusions that drive the ongoing "permanent war."
