Summary
The best-selling author of Blowback provides an insightful and provocative look at American militarism and its repercussions at home and abroad, sounding a warning about the military-industrial complex, tracing America's expanding empire of military bases and support services, and analyzing its influence on American policy-making. Read by Tom Wiener. Book available.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: After the Soviet Union imploded, the United States was described first as the globe's "lone superpower," then as "reluctant sheriff," and, in the wake of 9/11, as a "New Rome." In this important best-seller, Chalmers Johnson explores the new militarism that is transforming America and compelling its people to pick up the burden of empire.

Recalling the classic warnings against militarism--from George Washington's farewell address to Dwight Eisenhower's denunciation of the military-industrial complex--Johnson turns to the present, showing that this militarism is already putting an end to the age of globalization, bankrupting the United States, and creating conditions for a new century of virulent blowback. The Sorrows of Empire suggests that the former American republic has already crossed its Rubicon--with the Pentagon in the lead.
