The
Pornography of Power:
How Defense Hawks Hijacked 9/11 and Weakened America
Written by
Robert Scheer
(editor-in-chief, Truthdig.org)
In the course
of his forty-year-career as one of
America
's most admired journalists, Robert Scheer's work has been
praised by Gore Vidal, Susan Sontag, and Joan Didion, who deems
him "one of the best reporters of our time." Now,
Scheer brings a lifetime of wisdom and experience to one of the
most overlooked and dangerous issues of our time - the
destructive influence of
America
's military-industrial complex. |
Scheer
examines the expansion of our military presence throughout the
world, our insane nuclear strategy, the immorality of
corporations profiting in
Iraq
, and the arrogance of our foreign policy. Although Scheer is a
liberal, his view echoes that of former Republican president
General Dwight Eisenhower, who, in his farewell speech to the
American people, spoke prophetically about need to guard against
the growing influence of the military-industrial complex. In
George W. Bush's
America
, politicians like Ike and Richard Nixon seem like prudent
centrists.
The views of libertarians, liberals, and pacifists are often
overlooked or ignored by America's mainstream media. The
Pornography of Power is the culmination of a respected
journalist's efforts to change the terms of debate
.
At a time when many are exploiting fears of terrorist attacks
and only a few national leaders are willing to advocate cuts in
defense spending, nuclear disarmament, and restrained use of
American force, Robert Scheer has written a manifesto for
enlightened reform. |
