A towering figure of the Right, Norman Podhoretz is editor-at-large of Commentary magazine and the author of several bestselling books, including Breaking Ranks, Ex-Friends, and The Prophets. In World War IV, Podhoretz argues that the “War on Terror” is as legitimate and necessary as World War I, World War II, and the Cold War (“World War III”), as he lays out his case in defense of President George W. Bush’s policies and actions.
