Terror and Liberalism

Book • 2003
In 'Terror and Liberalism', Paul Berman explores the ideological connections between modern Islamist groups and historical totalitarian movements.

He argues that the struggle against these extremist ideologies is a continuation of the battle between liberalism and its enemies, which has been ongoing since the early 20th century.

Berman supports an assertive liberal response to terrorism, drawing lessons from past conflicts with fascism and communism.
