How an unlikely group of academics, followers of political theorist Leo Strauss (1899-1973), came to power in Washington and provided the philosophical justification for the war on Iraq. Norton examines Strauss's ideas and the ways in which they have been appropriated, misappropriated or highjacked by senior US policy-makers.
