Many Americans believe that foreign military intervention is central to protecting
our domestic freedoms. But Christopher J. Coyne and Abigail R. Hall urge engaged citizens
to think again. Overseas, our government takes actions in the name of defense that
would not be permissible within national borders. Emboldened by the relative weakness
of governance abroad, the U.S. government is able to experiment with a broader range
of social controls. Under certain conditions, these policies, tactics, and technologies
are then re-imported to America, changing the national landscape and increasing the
extent to which we live in a police state. Coyne and Hall examine this pattern-which
they dub "the boomerang effect"-considering a variety of rich cases that include the
rise of state surveillance, the militarization of domestic law enforcement, the expanding
use of drones, and torture in U.S. prisons. Synthesizing research and applying an
economic lens, they develop a generalizable theory to predict and explain a startling
trend. Tyranny Comes Home unveils a new aspect of the symbiotic relationship between
foreign interventions and domestic politics. It gives us alarming insight into incidents
like the shooting in Ferguson, Missouri and the Snowden case―which tell a common story
about contemporary foreign policy and its impact on our civil liberties.
