According to the Boston Phoenix and the Washington Times, Scheuer is the anonymous author responsible for Imperial Hubris: Why the West is Losing the War on Terror and the earlier anonymous work, Through Our Enemies' Eyes: Osama bin Laden, Radical Islam, and the Future of America.      

His most recent book, Imperial Hubris, a New York Times bestseller, has raised controversy over his assertions that the United States was attacked on September 11, 2001, and will continue to be attacked, because of the following: 1) the U.S. government supports Israel and is indifferent to Palestinians; 2) the presence of the U.S. and western troops on the Arabian Peninsula; 3) U.S. occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan; 4) the U.S. supports countries that oppress Muslims, such as Russia, India and China; 5) U.S. pressure on Arabs to keep oil prices low; and 6) U.S. support for tyrannical governments.
