Stephen Holmes, one of the U.S.’s preeminent political thinkers, discusses his latest book, The Matador’s Cape: America’s Reckless Response to Terror.  In this timely book, Holmes brilliantly illuminates why America’s ‘war’ against Islamic terrorism has gone so wrong, and what can be done to protect both the nation and its democratic institutions.
