As Eugene Jarecki powerfully portrays in this piercing and necessary book, Eisenhower's worst fears have been realized. The complex has grown so large and powerful, with tendrils reaching so wide and deep into our political system, economy, and culture, that it is dramatically undermining our democracy, fueling an excessive militarism and an imperialist impulse that has propelled the United States into a series of horribly misguided military actions-culminating in the Iraq debacle.Based on extensive interviews with a who's who of high-level insiders from the Beltway, the Pentagon, and the defense sector, as well as in-depth historical research, Jarecki traces the troubling story of the evolution of the complex and how it so forcefully exerts its corrupting influence. Vital listening at this crucial juncture as the nation grapples with the profound challenge of Iraq, Jarecki's penetrating examination is sure to generate wide acclaim and lively debate. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Bush, George W.|q(George Walker),|d1946-|xPolitical and social views. 650 0 National characteristics, American. 650 0 Militarism|zUnited States|xHistory. 650 0 Executive power|zUnited States|xHistory. 650 0 Iraq War, 2003-2011|xCauses. 650 0 Interviews|zUnited States. 651 0 United States|xHistory, Military. 651 0 United States|xMilitary policy. 651 0 United States|xForeign relations|xPhilosophy. 651 0 United States|xForeign relations|y2001-2009. 700 1 Drummond, David. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 10755596?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ ttm_9781400129805_180.jpeg
