New York City, June 22, 2005

“A comprehensive analysis of America’s relationship with the world. No stone is left unturned. The maggots exposed are grotesque.” — Harold Pinter

“This provocative and wide-ranging inquiry—part analysis, part manifest—brings to light a new phase in the historical process of primitive accumulation, a form of bitter class war and social reconstruction now proceeding in the guise of what the authors depict as ‘military neo-liberalism.’ The conclusions and analysis are brought to bear incisively on central events of the contemporary world, and on how its serious threats can be confronted.” — Noam Chomsky
