The Pulitzer Prize–winning author examines the cardinal
failing of Washington’s war on terror
This book
distills eleven years of expert reporting for The New
York Times, Reuters, and The Atlantic Monthly
into a clarion call for change. An incisive look at the
evolving nature of war, Rohde exposes how a dysfunctional
Washington squandered billions on contractors in Iraq and
Afghanistan, neglected its true allies in the war on terror
and failed to employ its most potent nonmilitary weapons:
American consumerism, technology, and investment. Rohde then
surveys post-Arab Spring Tunisia, Turkey, and Egypt, and
finds a yearning for American technology, trade, and
education. He argues that only Muslim moderates, not
Americans, can eradicate militancy. For readers of Steve
Coll, Tom Ricks, and Ahmed Rashid, Beyond War shows
how the failed American effort to back moderate Muslims
since 9/11 can be salvaged.
