Rahul Mahajan Knihy

Focusing on the U.S. war on Iraq, Mahajan offers a critical examination of American foreign policy following the Cold War. Drawing from his background as an anti-sanctions activist, he situates Iraq within the broader post-9/11 landscape, scrutinizing the Bush National Security Strategy and the neoconservative agenda for global dominance. His research reveals that the war was part of a premeditated strategy, initiated before 9/11, which sought justification through a significant event akin to a "new Pearl Harbor."

This book locates ongoing events in the aftermath of September 11 in historical context, analyzes their motive forces and possible outcomes, and examines the alternatives that face the anti-globalization movement and opponents of racism and war.
