Beginning with his debut masterpiece, The Naked and the Dead, Norman Mailer has repeatedly told the truth about war. Why Are We at War? returns Mailer to the gravity of the battlefield and the grand hubris of the politicians who send soldiers there to die. First published in the early days of the Iraq War, Why Are We at War? is an explosive argument about the American quest for empire that still carries weight today. Scrutinizing the Bush administration’s words and actions, Mailer unleashes his trademark moral rigor: “Because democracy is noble, it is always endangered. . . . To assume blithely that we can export democracy into any country we choose can serve paradoxically to encourage more fascism at home and abroad.”

Praise for Why Are We at War?

“We’re overloaded with information these days, some of it possibly true. Mailer offers a provocative—and persuasive—cultural and intellectual frame.”—Newsweek

“[Mailer] still has the stamina to churn out hard-hitting criticism.”—Los Angeles Times

“Penetrating . . . There’s plenty of irreverent wit and fresh thinking on display.”—San Francisco Chronicle

“Eloquent . . . thoughtful . . . Why Are We at War? pulls no punches.”—Fort Worth Star-Telegram

Praise for Norman Mailer

“[Norman Mailer] loomed over American letters longer and larger than any other writer of his generation.”—The New York Times

“A writer of the greatest and most reckless talent.”—The New Yorker

“Mailer is indispensable, an American treasure.”—The Washington Post

“A devastatingly alive and original creative mind.”—Life

“Mailer is fierce, courageous, and reckless and nearly everything he writes has sections of headlong brilliance.”—The New York Review of Books

“The largest mind and imagination [in modern] American literature . . . Unlike just about every American writer since Henry James, Mailer has managed to grow and become richer in wisdom with each new book.”—Chicago Tribune

“Mailer is a master of his craft. His language carries you through the story like a leaf on a stream.”—The Cincinnati Post

This book has all you will ever need to understand America's involvement in Afgansitan/Iraq. Norman Mailer hits a robust warning to America in this book of future events which have transpired since its writing. It takes an Old Soldier (me) into the mindwork of the Bush Adminstration and exposes all of its seething secrets. You will find more enlightenment in the passages of this book,maybe more than you may be prepared to accept. I am a conservative,a previous fighting soldier from the Nam era. I also voted for the Bush campaign. I also admit I was wrong (but had no choice of something better from the Dems)in letting this get to where Norman said it was going. Can you say the same. Get this book and give it a read, then, pass it on to someone you care about and help us get out of the mess we are in with a vote and the power of the pen.

NORMAN MAILER REVEALS HOW THIS WAR IS THE RESULT OF OUR FEAR DRIVEN COLLECTIVE SUBCONCIOUS AND ITS MANIPULATION BY THE ADMINISTRATION FOR THEIR OWN AGENDA AFTER THE EVENT OF 9/11 .
IT IS A GREAT EYE OPENER REGARDING THE CONSTRUCTIVE PATRIOTISM OF THE ANTI WAR CROWD VERSUS THE REASSURING DRUG ADDICTION TYPE PATRIOTISM OF THE PRO WAR PEOPLE. THE BOOK WARNS US HOW A DEMOCRATIC NATION CAN BE LEAD BLINDLY AND UNWITTINGLY INTO A FASCISM SIMILAR TO HITLER'S NAZISM. IT SHOWS US AS WELL THE MOTIVATIONS AND DANGERS OF IMPERIALISM AND ITS HYPOCRISY IN THE CONTEXT OF OUR FREEDOM LOVING COUNTRY. MAILER TRIES TO TEACH THE READER THAT REAL CONCERN FOR ONE'S COUNTRY IS NOT IN DENIAL AND UNCONDITIONAL LOVE BUT IN THE RECOGNITION OF AND ACTING UPON ITS QUALITIES AND ITS DEFECTS.
