From the author of the prophetic national bestseller Blowback, a startling look at militarism, American style, and its consequences abroad and at home
In the years after the Soviet Union imploded, the United States was described first as the globe鈥檚 鈥渓one superpower,鈥?then as a 鈥渞eluctant sheriff,鈥?next as the 鈥渋ndispensable nation,鈥?and now, in the wake of 9/11, as a 鈥淣ew Rome.鈥?Here, Chalmers Johnson thoroughly explores the new militarism that is transforming America and compelling its people to pick up the burden of empire.
Reminding us of the classic warnings against militarism鈥攆rom George Washington鈥檚 farewell address to Dwight Eisenhower鈥檚 denunciation of the military-industrial complex鈥擩ohnson uncovers its roots deep in our past. Turning to the present, he maps America鈥檚 expanding empire of military bases and the vast web of services that supports them. He offers a vivid look at the new caste of professional warriors who have infiltrated multiple branches of government, who classify as 鈥渟ecret鈥?everything they do, and for whom the manipulation of the military budget is of vital interest.
Among Johnson鈥檚 provocative conclusions is that American militarism is putting an end to the age of globalization and bankrupting the United States, even as it creates the conditions for a new century of virulent blowback. The Sorrows of Empire suggests that the former American republic has already crossed its Rubicon鈥攚ith the Pentagon leading the way.
