  President Bush was roundly criticized for likening America's antiterrorism measures to a crusade in 2001. This book addresses the role of neomedievalism in contemporary politics. It concludes with a parsing of Bush administration's torture memos, which enlist neomedievalism's model of feudal sovereignty on behalf of abrogation of human rights.
