Can "The Whole World" Be Wrong?

Drawing
on the dynamics of apocalyptic movements, Landes looks at the turn of the millennium in
terms of a radical mismatch between two millennial styles, an Islamist pre-modern
(Caliphators) and a Western post-modern (Woke). Due to a striking cognitive
failure, Westerners could neither see nor discuss the foe they faced, and
repeatedly, convinced they were bending the arc of history towards justice,
took sharp wrong turns.
