Reviews

This timely book from accomplished historian Johnson (Blowback) collects previously published articles that make succinct, hard-hitting attacks on what the author perceives as America's ruinous imperial follies. Johnson is especially critical of the US penchant for covert operations run by the CIA--'the president's private army'--and its enthrallment to what Eisenhower called the military-industrial complex...compellingly presented. -- Publishers Weekly
