ITEM OVERVIEW
A candid and critical look at America's "new wars" by a brilliant and provocative analyst of its old ones. Kolko insists that the roots of terrorism lie in America's own cynical policies in the Middle East and Afghanistan, a half-century of real politiks justified by crusades for oil, and against communism. The latter threat has disappeared, but America has become even more ambitious in its imperialist adventures and, as the recent crisis proves, even less secure.
"With its remarkable sweep and its depth of understanding...its lessons are both sobering and invaluable." —Noam Chomsky
