À propos de ce produit

Product Information

Following the attacks of 11 September 2001, George W. Bush said of the perpetrators: ''They are evil, we are good''. Bush responded to the disaster with severe restrictions on civil liberties, declaring to his critics: ''Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists''. When Timothy McVeigh blew up the federal building in Oklahoma City in 1995, Bill Clinton likewise introduced draconian legislation, and suggested that those who were against the measures were terrorist co-conspirators and ''unpatriotic''.In Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace, the masterful, award-winning writer Gore Vidal transcends the simplistic black-and-white sloganizing of politicians and the corporate-sponsored media. Far from being an apologist for terrorism, Vidal makes a rational investigation into the causes behind the devastating events of 11 September and the Oklahoma bombing. He even enters into a remarkable correspondence with McVeigh, partially reproduced here. One of the last great independent thinkers, Vidal refuses to be steamrollered by the weight of ''received wisdom'' and media consensus. ''Things just happen out there in the American media, and we consumers don't need to be told the why of anything'', he observes. Unsurprisingly, his attempts to publish an essay on 11 September met with failure in his native USA.The United States, argues Vidal, has been engaged in what the historian Charles A. Beard called ''perpetual war for perpetual peace''. The Federation of American Scientists has catalogued nearly two hundred military incursions since 1945 in which the United States has been the aggressor. In a series of penetrating and startling essays, Gore Vidal challenges the cosy conclusion following both 11 September and the Oklahoma bombing that these were simply the acts of ''evil-doersE. As he explains in his introduction: ''With both bin Laden and McVeigh, I thought it useful to describe the various provocations on our side that drove them to such terrible acts''.

''There is no one quite like him, and if you do not know his work you should.'' - Times''Gore Vidal is the most elegant, erudite and eclectic writer of his generation.'' - Guardian''Vidal's combination of learning, wit and disdain gets into your blood. He can change the way you think.'' - Observer''A figure whose vibrant verbal presence has itself been an essential of American cultural life for the past fifty-odd years.'' - TLS''A class act ... a few hours in his company is still a panacea for all ills.'' - Independent on Sunday''Vidal is the outstanding literary radical of America.'' - Melvyn Bragg''He can express in a phrase what a more solemn essayist would be hard pressed to put in a paragraph.'' - Peter Ackroyd''The master essayist of our age.'' - Washington Post Book World''Vidal is the best all-round American man of letters since Edmund Wilson.'' - Newsweek
