Overview

In Blowback, published before 9/11, Johnson warned that our secret operations in Iraq and elsewhere around the globe would exact a price at home. Now, in a brilliant series of essays, Johnson measures that price and the resulting dangers America faces. Dismantling the Empire explores the subjects for which Johnson is famous, from the origins of blowback to Obama's Afghanistan conundrum, including our inept spies, bad behavior in other countries, ill-fought wars, and capitulation to a military that has taken ever more control of the federal budget. He proposes there is only one way out: President Obama must dismantle the empire before the Pentagon dismantles the American Dream. If we do not learn from the fates of past empires, our fall is foreordained. This is Johnson at his best, delivering both a warning and an urgent prescription for a remedy.
