Summary

Recalling the classic warnings against militarism, from George Washington's farewell address to Dwight Eisenhower's denunciation of the military-industrial complex, Johnson explores the trend of militarism that is bankrupting the United States and creating conditions for a new century of virulent blowback.

Necessary corrective to "official" view

While somewhat dated and not as insightful as Noam Chomsky this is an important book.

The truth of a sad one

It's a book well worth listening to, but the narrator really needs to slow down why on earth one should read that fast is beyond me .It feels like he can t wait to finish the thing.
