Focusing on the concept of the Universal Adversary, this groundbreaking work delves into its emergence from US security documents and its implications for emergency planning. It scrutinizes the underlying issue of the 'disgruntled worker' and how this abstract enemy has evolved to influence state power narratives. The book also examines historical tropes associated with resistance and disorder, such as the Zombie, the Devil, and the Pirate, offering a radical perspective on contemporary security discourse.
