This series of three documentary films was first shown on BBC 2 in 2004. They examine American Neo-Conservativism and radical Islamism, pointing out striking similarities in their origins and ideologies. More controversially, they argue that the threat of radical Islamism is a myth perpetrated by Western politicians in an attempt to cover the failings of their own socio-economic and political systems.
