The creator of TomDispatch. com “tackles our military fetish … He takes on our war-possessed world with clear-eyed, penetrating precision” (Mother Jones).
Tom Engelhardt, creator of the website TomDispatch. com, takes a scalpel to the American urge to dominate the globe. Tracing developments from 9/11 to present day, this is an unforgettable anatomy of a disaster that is yet to end.
Since 2001, Tom Englehardt has written regular reports for his popular site TomDispatch that have provided badly needed insight into US militarism and its effects, both at home and abroad. When others were celebrating the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, he warned of the enormous dangers of both occupations.
In The American Way of War, Engelhardt documents Washington’s ongoing commitment to military bases to preserve—and extend—its empire; reveals damning information about the American reliance on air power, at great cost to civilians in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan; and shows that the US empire has deep historical roots that precede the Bush administration—and continued through the presidency of Barack Obama.
Praise for Tom Engelhardt and The American Way of War
“Engelhardt is absorbing and provocative. Everything he writes is of a satisfyingly congruent piece. ” —The New York Times
“Tom Engelhardt provides a clear-eyed examination of U. S. foreign policy in the Bush and Obama years, and details unsparingly how Obama has inherited—and in many cases exacerbated—the ills of the Bush era. ” —Daniel Luban, Inter Press Service
