There is increasing concern about the the size, scope ,and destructive capacity of the US military as the global war on terror continues to drag on and the US war machine sets its sites on new targets around the world. McCoy explores the violent past and present of US imperialism.
After decades of silence during the Cold War, recent years have brought a number of books on aspects of U.S. empire. Few if any of these competing volumes offer the historical depth, topical range, and originality of geopolitical insight of this book.
