Why people recommend it
Fool's Errand by Scott Horton is a critical historical examination of America's military interventions and the broader global war on terrorism. On an episode of The Tucker Carlson Show titled "Dave Smith: Mossad, WWII Myths, FBI Cover-Ups, and Trump’s Critical Next Move in" released on April 1, 2026, guest Dave Smith recommended the book during a discussion on foreign policy and military history. Smith praised the author's body of work, specifically highlighting Enough Already and Fool's Errand as essential reading. He asserted without hesitation that these texts regarding the global war on terrorism stand as the best books ever written on the subject. Smith's strong endorsement drew attention to critical perspectives on interventionist foreign policy, offering listeners an alternative narrative to mainstream accounts of modern military conflicts. The recommendation reinforced the conversation's overarching theme of questioning institutional narratives surrounding intelligence, military strategy, and geopolitical engagements executed by Western governments over the past several decades.
