The Neoconservatives' Empire discusses the misleading media and the Iraq War, a conflict that received unprecedented media coverage in the history of wars. It highlighted the war's dangers not only on Iraq and the region but also on the American administration and the world. This book explores the policy of deception during the Iraq War and presents the tools and methods used to justify it: falsification, manipulation, psychological warfare, deceit, intimidation, hiding truths and information, terrorizing the press and journalists, and attempts to militarize and enlist the media. It also addresses numerous significant questions the war continues to pose about the reasons behind American involvement, the nature and ambitions of the American project in the region, the intellectual, political, and ideological backgrounds of this project, the lure of oil in what transpired, and especially the neoconservatives' role in sparking the war.
