In the course of his forty-year-career as one of America's most
admired journalists, Robert Scheer's work has been praised by Gore
Vidal, Susan Sontag, and Joan Didion, who deems him "one of the
best reporters of our time." Now, Scheer brings a lifetime of
wisdom and experience to one of the most overlooked and dangerous
issues of our time - the destructive influence of America's
military-industrial complex.
Scheer examines the expansion of our military presence throughout
the world, our insane nuclear strategy, the immorality of
corporations profiting in Iraq, and the arrogance of our foreign
policy. Although Scheer is a liberal, his view echoes that of
former Republican president General Dwight Eisenhower, who, in his
farewell speech to the American people, spoke prophetically about
need to guard against the growing influence of the
military-industrial complex. In George W. Bush's America,
politicians like Ike and Richard Nixon seem like prudent centrists.
The views of libertarians, liberals, and pacifists are often
overlooked or ignored by America's mainstream media. "The
Pornography of Power" is the culmination of a respected
journalist's efforts to change the terms of debate. At a time when
many are exploiting fears of terrorist attacks and only a few
national leaders are willing to advocate cuts in defense spending,
nuclear disarmament, and restrained use of American force, Robert
Scheer has written a manifesto for enlightened reform.
