In US foreign policy, conflict has replaced diplomacy. At home, wars on crime, drugs, immigration, and terrorism dissolve barriers between law enforcement and combat. Tracing the origins of militarized policy to post-Vietnam fears of waning US power, Osamah Khalil argues that it is time to discard forever wars and invest in political solutions.

Reviews for A World of Enemies: America’s Wars at Home and Abroad from Kennedy to Biden

Osamah Khalil’s magisterial book could not be more timely. Relentlessly critical of six decades of US global policy, it challenges readers’ assumptions in a way that is intelligible, innovative, and deeply grounded in evidence. A World of Enemies should become required reading for students, scholars, policymakers, and the public. -- Richard H. Immerman, author of <i>Empire for Liberty</i>
