Semper Feith

I’ve been thinking of writing a biography of Douglas Feith as a companion to his book, War and Decision, but have been stymied because I can’t find a working title. If I could just get the right one, I feel like everything else would flow. Some candidates–

The Good Feith: The True Story of a Soldier in the War of Ideas

The Life of Feith. Volume I, Humble Beginnings

Feith and Drum: Inside the Modern Military from the Perspective of a Former Under Secretary of Defense

Keeping Feith: How America Can Democratize the Middle East

Filth and Feith: How the Leftwing Blogosphere Tried to Damage the Reputation of a Patriot

    Well, I guess this is a joke. Who would want to take the time to write a book-length bio of that turd?

    But hey, I'll play:

    American Likudnik: the treasonous tale of Doug Feith

    Stupidest Fucking Guy In The World: the amazing cover identity of Mossad agent Doug Feith

    Blind Feith: How the Stupidest Fucking Guy in the World Helped Start the Iraq War

    A sort of multiple biography – a long essay on say four people, like Strachey's Eminent Victorians – might work well though. Might suit Mondoweiss's. Feith could certainly be one of them.

  3. Feith and Freedom Fries: Hamavdil bein Yisrael laamin (He Who Separates Israel from the Nations — part of the Havdalah blessing).

    Feith and Treason: The Life and Crimes of Douglas Feith

    Feith and Reason: Behind the Mask of Douglas Feith

    Feith, Hope and Desolation, But the Greatest of These is Desolation.

    Doug Feith: The Taint of Occupation

    It's a chapter in his book. Plus Jonathan Schwarz and/or Spencer Ackerman already tagged him with it. It fits perfectly. It's probably not copyrighted, but have your people talk to their people first before you use it.
    Also, it's ambiguously vulgar and repulsive in civilized discourse, just like Feith & his vicious, craven, criminal buddies in the national security elite.

    "Feith No More"

    If the book doesn't sell at least you can form a band. Besides you may even use the original band name for inspiration:

    "Feith No Man"

    I like Doppler's and matter’s, so how about this:
