George W. Bush has fundamentally changed America's place in the
world. In some neo-conservative circles the word 'empire' is back
in fashion, and a great republic that broke away from the British
empire is now supposed to be proud of its new imperial role. This
book explains how the neo-conservatives and the petro-military
complex have hijacked US foreign policy. It examines the price that
Americans will have to pay for this new era of unlimited US
military might -- a never ending fear of terrorism; mushrooming
defence and security spending; the erosion of civil liberties at
home and the deaths abroad of tens of thousands of civilians and
military combatants. At the heart of this disturbing and timely
book is the ultimate question. Previous empires have foundered on
the rock of imperial overstretch -- the costs of trying to run and
protect empires eventually outstripping the capacity and
willingness of the citizenry to pay for them. Is the US in danger
of going down that road? Who around George 'Dubya' Bush is pushing
him along that path?
