The Liberal Defence of Murder

The book examines the ideological shift of prominent leftist thinkers who have aligned themselves with pro-war policies following the Soviet Union's collapse. It highlights figures like Kanan Makiya and Bernard Henri-Levy, who have played pivotal roles in advocating for military interventions under the guise of humanitarian efforts, particularly in the context of the War on Terror. Through testimonies and analysis, it reveals how these individuals contributed to the formation of a "pro-war left" and influenced the trajectory of American foreign policy in the post-9/11 era.
