Book synopsis

While many studies approach the national security state primarily as a bureaucratic or organizational phenomenon, this book explores the rhetorics and discourses produced by and constitutive of America's national security state. Through a series of case studies of issues such as cyberwar, the global war on terrorism, enhanced interrogation techniques, drone crew stress, the activities of Edward Snowden, the rise of Special Forces, and popular representations of counterterrorism, the authors illustrate the importance of rhetoric to the expansion of the American national security state in the post-9/11 era, this book demonstrates that this expansion was not the result of lone, imperial executives or a nefarious state within a state, but was co-produced by elite and non-elite Americans alike who not only condoned, but also in many cases demanded, the expansion of the national security state.
