Editor emeritus of Commentary magazine, Norman Podhoretz discusses his newest book World War IV: The Long Struggle Against Islamofascism. Seeing the Cold War as World War III, Podhoretz observes that Islamofascism is the newest totalitarian threat to democracy, the successor to Nazism and Communism. Podhoretz notes that Islamofascism is a creation of the twentieth century and that it is not the same as Islam. He expresses his admiration for President George W. Bush and sees a parallel between him and Harry Truman in that each recognized the political threat of his time. He also speaks of the genesis of the neoconservative movement and about his friendships and ex-friendships with prominent intellectuals including Lionel Trilling, Hannah Arendt, Norman Mailer, and Allen Ginsberg.
