Description
In his searing new book . . Engelhardt has composed a requiem for a nation turned upside down by the relentless pursuit of global power (Karen J. Greenberg, author of Rogue Justice: The Making of the Security State). As veteran author Tom Engelhardt argues, despite having a more massive, technologically advanced, and better-funded military than any other power on the planet, in the last decade and a half of constant war across the greater Middle East and parts of Africa, the United States has won nothing. Its unending wars, in fact, have only contributed to a world growing more chaotic by the second. "The violence, destruction, and suffering resulting from the imperial arrogance of Bush, Cheney, and cohorts have proceeded on their shocking course while most Americans, Tom Engelhardt writes, were 'only half paying attention.' Regular readers of his incisive, lucid, and brutally informative columns could not fail to pay attention and to be appalled at what was revealed. Their impact is all the more forceful in this collection, which casts a brilliant and horrifying light on a sordid chapter of history, far from closed." -- Noam Chomsky, leading public intellectual and author of Hopes and Prospects "No one has had a keener eye for American militarism, hypocrisy, and flat-out folly than Tom Engelhardt." -- John W. Dower, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Ways of Forgetting, Ways of Remembering "The mainstream media call it the 'Age of Trump.' Tom Engelhardt knows better: It's the 'Era of America Unhinged.' This new collection of essays gives us Engelhardt at his very best: incisive, impassioned, and funny even, in a time of great darkness." -- Andrew J. Bacevich, New York Times -bestselling author "Tom Engelhardt is a tireless analyst of the miseries of American Empire . . [an] indispensable book." -- Juan Cole, professor of history at the University of Michigan.
