false 217991 <![CDATA[The Fight Is for Democracy: Winning the War of Ideas in America and the World]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172792259m/217991.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172792259s/217991.jpg Americans aren't fighting just a war on terrorism ... they are fighting, and losing, a war of ideas.

This riveting collection of original essays by some of the best political minds in America argues that the post-September 11 era has put American democracy itself on trial. In short, defeating terrorism requires us to live up to our own ideals. In The Fight Is for Democracy, nine leading writers take a hard, and at times personal, look at American life and America's role in the world. These pieces share a belief in the need for liberal reform at home and abroad. Power alone is not enough to win hearts and minds around the world. The war against terrorism should be a war for democracy.
