Summary:
"An unflinching exposé of the hidden costs of American war-making written with “an immense and rare humanity” (Naomi Klein) by one of our premier political analysts. More than twenty years ago, 9/11 and the
war
in Afghanistan set into motion a hugely consequential shift in America’s foreign policy: a perpetual state of
war
that is almost entirely
invisible
to the American public.
War
Made
Invisible
, by the journalist and political analyst Norman Solomon, exposes
how
this happened, and what
its
consequences are, from
military
and civilian casualties to drained resources at home. From Iraq through Afghanistan and Syria and on to little-known deployments in a range of countries around the globe, the United States has been at perpetual
war
for at least the past two decades. Yet many of these forays remain off the radar of average Americans. Compliant journalists add to the smokescreen by providing narrow coverage of
military
engagements and by repeating the military’s talking points. Meanwhile, the increased use of high technology, air power, and remote drones has put distance between soldiers and the civilians who die. Back at home, Solomon argues, the cloak of invisibility masks massive Pentagon budgets that receive bipartisan approval even as policy makers struggle to fund the domestic agenda. Necessary, timely, and unflinching,
War
Made
Invisible
is an eloquent moral call for counting the true costs of
war
."--Publisher.
