An end to evil

Book • 2003
An End to Evil: How to Win the War on Terror, by David Frum and Richard Perle, lays out a robust neoconservative strategy for countering terrorism and confronting hostile regimes after 9/11.

The authors argue for proactive use of U.S.

military and political power to remove threats, democratize hostile states, and deter future aggression.

The book presents policy prescriptions ranging from targeted military action to preemptive strategies aimed at states supporting terrorism.

It reflects the Bush-era hawkish consensus and influenced debates leading up to the Iraq War. While influential among neoconservatives, it also drew significant criticism for its advocacy of interventionist policies and assumptions about post-conflict state-building.
