Saito has produced a synthesis that is thought-provoking and challenging, and it provides a welcome attempt to place the contemporary moment in the "war on terror" into a much longer historical frame. Most of all, like all good critical scholarship, scholars and students can look to this book as a way to interrogate one's commitments about the American Project.
