In New World Empire, William H. Thornton offers an alternative road map for America's relations with the Islamic world. He cogently argues that neoglobalist policies adopted after 9/11 have pushed much of the Muslim world into the enemy camp. Worse still, the White House has redefined America in stark contrast to this phantom adversary.

Thornton sets forth a powerful case for salvaging this vital link between America and the world it has lost. Visit our website for sample chapters!
