What is The World As It Is : Dispatches on the Myth of Human Progress about?

xv, 350 pages ; 25 cm Drawing on two decades of experience as a war correspondent and based on his numerous columns for Truthdig, Chris Hedges presents The World As It Is, a panorama of the American empire at home and abroad, from the coarsening effect of America's War on Terror to the front lines in the Middle East and South Asia and the continuing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Underlying his reportage is a constant struggle with the nature of war and its impact on human civilization. "War is always about betrayal," Hedges notes. "It is about betrayal of the young by the old, of cynics by idealists, and of soldiers and Marines by politicians. Society's institutions, including our religious institutions, which mold us into compliant citizens, are unmasked." Includes bibliographical references (pages 331-334) and index Politics : It's not going to be OK ; The false idol of unfettered capitalism ; Resist or become serfs ; Buying Brand Obama ; Hold your applause ; The truth alone will not set you free ; The crooks get the cash while the poor get screwed ; The man in the mirror ; Nader was right: liberals are going nowhere with Obama ; This isn't reform, it's robbery ; Go to Pittsburgh
