In his prophetic book Blowback, published before 9/11, Korean War veteran and former CIA consultant Chalmers Johnson warned that our secret operations in Iraq and elsewhere around the globe would exact a price at home. Dismantling the Empire is Johnson's final collection of essays, published shortly before his death in 2010, in which he underscores the dangers that America faces if we continue our imperial stance (relying on Pentagon economics, a global military presence, and war without end) and offers his prescription for reversing our democracy-eroding hegemony.
"Concise, clear, hard-hitting ... a must-read for anyone looking for meaningful information concerning the future of the American Empire."—Foreign Policy Journal
