Don't know about the interview, but it may be the same person - if you can give me some more sources? 
The book is non-fiction (as are some others on my list), and as far as I know only availabla in german language. The two guys are freelancing journalists, and initiated the "institute for studies in visual culture" in Cologne.
The book is about our western society's opposed to third world countries, and the way we have integrated war and violence into our everyday lives. It argues that in our "peaceful" society war is taking place in our heads and in our everyday lives as a way of competition in every field and our "body-culture". How the western society sees life as a battle where only "success" counts, opposed to the third world countries where war and violence are omnipresent, but not wished for. Basically we (with the help of indoctrination through the media) construct our own wars, while the third world wants to get rid of theirs, but of course can't because of "us". The book reflects most of this through several Hollywood films that exemplify this message.
I know my explanation sounds a bit messy.
