The United States of Fear

By Tom Engelhardt

-- While the Obama administration has dropped the rhetorical tropes of a 'global war on terror,' many of the essential elements of the former administration's strategic goals remain locked in place. These include control of Afghanistan and Iraq, an extension of the status quo in Israel-Palestine, and hostility toward popular social movements in Latin America.
--This book is intended to ask— and attempt to answer— tough questions about American foreign policy infrequently raised in the mainstream media.
--The author is a prominent MidEast analyst, whose website receives over 7,000 hits per day. His work has received favorable reviews across the political spectrum, from The American Conservative to Socialist Worker
