To an ever-increasing extent, the business of America is the business of war. But although Americans live in the shadow of a war economy, few understand the full extent of its power and influence. Thanks to Christian Sorensons deeply researched book into the military-industrial complex that envelops our society, such ignorance can no longer be an excuse. - ANDREW COCKBURN, author of Kill Chain, The Rise of the High Tech Assassins. A devastating account of American militarism, brilliantly depicted, and exhaustively researched in an authoritative manner. Sorensens book is urgent, fascinating reading... RICHARD FALK Im adding Christian Sorensens new book, Understanding the War Industry , to the list of books I think will convince you to help abolish war and militaries.. DAVID SWANSON World Without War This meticulously researched book lays out in painstaking detail exactly how our nation has been captured by a war industry that profits from endless conflict and pursues profit at all costs. It will shock you, infuriate you, and hopefully inspire you.MEDEA BENJAMIN, co-director, CODE PINK The War Industry infests the American economy like a cancer, sapping its strength and distorting its creativity while devouring its treasure. Stunning in the depth of its research, Understanding the War Industry documents how the war industry commands the other two sides of the military-industrial-congressional triangle. It lays bare the multiple levers enabling the vast and proliferating war industry to wield undue influence, exploiting financial and legal structures, while co-opting Congress, academia and the media. Spiked with insights into how corporate boardrooms view the troops, overseas bases, and warzones, it assiduously delineates how corporations reap enormous profits by providing a myriad of goods and services devoted to making war, which must be rationalized and used if the game is to go on: advanced weaponry, drones and nukes; invasive information technology; space-based weapons; and special operationswith contracts stuffed with ongoing and proliferating developmental, tertiary and maintenance products for all of it.
