Synopsis
A scathing indictment of U. S. domestic and foreign policy, this collection of interviews gathers incendiary insights from 10 of today's most eperienced and knowledgeable activists. Whether it's Ramsey Clark describing the long history of military invasion, Alfred McCoy detailing the relationship between CIA activities and the increase in the global heroin trade, Stephen Schwartz reporting the obscene costs of nuclear armaments, or Katharine Albrecht tracing the horrors of the modern surveillance state, this investigation of global governance is sure to inform, engage, and incite readers. This book explores many of the consequences of empire and the methods it uses to enforce its license to extract and exploit. Anuradha Mittal describes the effects of colonialism and global trade on food security. Juliet Schor, Katherine Albrecht, and Christian Parenti discuss some of the mechanisms of repression on the home front, as citizens at its center are overworked, surveilled, and imprisoned. J.W. Smith explains how empire begins in the monopolization of land and ends in a global economy based on total control. These voices, together with the others in this book, comprise a strong indictment against the empire that holds our planet hostage to its ruthless appetite.
