About
'An End to Evil: How to Win the War on Terror' (2004), co-authored by Richard Perle, former chairman of the Defense Policy Board Advisory Committee, and David Frum, a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. Published by Random House. The book analyzes Islamic terrorist networks and proposes U.S. government policies to defeat them, including aggressive measures against terrorism. It defended the Iraq invasion and served as a neoconservative manifesto advocating preemptive action and regime change in the Middle East, including Iran and Syria.

Published in January 2004, 'An End to Evil' was the most comprehensive post-invasion articulation of neoconservative foreign policy. The book defended the Iraq invasion and advocated regime change in Iran and Syria, a tougher stance against Saudi Arabia, and a harder line on North Korea. Reviews were sharply divided: the NYT called it 'absolutist' and 'smug,' the Mises Institute noted its logical inconsistency, while AEI colleagues praised it. The book contained the line: 'For us, terrorism remains the great evil of our time, and the war against this evil, our generation's great cause... There is no middle way for Americans: it is victory or holocaust.'
