A wise and blistering attack on the Pentagon and all those who profit from wars and defense spending, by one of America's greatest progressive journalists. Called 'one of the best reporters of our time' by Joan Didion, Robert Scheer brings a lifetime of journalistic acuity to his impassioned call for a new way of thinking about American national defense.
He describes the useless weapons manufactured; the quiet expansion of the American military presence throughout the world; the insanity of nuclear strategy; the immorality of corporations profiting in Iraq; and the arrogance of American foreign policy. Scheer's perspective is wholeheartedly liberal. He draws upon thirty years of experience to prove why progressive solutions will work.
