Beyond “Shock and Awe” — Harlan Ullman

Publishers Marketplace: The Latest Deals: “Architect of the U.S. military’s ’shock and awe’ doctrine and mentor to Colin Powell, Harlan Ullman’s SHATTERED DREAMS: How Culture and Crusade are Destroying America — and What We Must Do About It, an exposé asserting that the United States’ political culture and appetite for crusade is more destructive than all of Al Qaeda’s deadly intentions, to Philip Turner at Carroll & Graf, for publication in June 2006, by Peter Rubie at Peter Rubie Literary Agency”

This sounds like it’ll be important to read. The question in my mind is whether it rests on a sloppy conflation of the medieval Crusades and modern American idealism … different mentalities entirely.
