Argues the forces which originally drove us into the Cold War never
went anywhere, and the stakes are higher than ever As the American
people delude themselves once more into thinking of the United
States as a liberating force for peace in the world, Waging a New
Cold War invites us, instead, to think for ourselves. Behind the
scenes the plans to wage war have been laid--either by proxy, as in
Ukraine, or directly, against the U.S.'s old twentieth-century
foes. Waging a New Cold War: A Socialist Perspective makes a strong
case that, as the official story is laid out by government
propagandists, and as the mainstream media provides cover, the aim
of this latest set of American military escapades remains the same
as ever: Maintenance of U.S hegemony in the global financial
system. Foregrounded with an introduction by Vijay Prashad, this
cogent collaboration puts forth three essays that illustrate
clearly that, while the Cold War against the Soviet Union ended,
the "cold war" against the "enemies" of the United States did not.
Furthermore, its authors lay out evidence that the U.S.
establishment has been willing to risk nuclear winter--in other
words, mutual annihilation--to hold onto economic primacy. And they
show that, while Russia and China can each be criticized,
justifiably, for their violations of human life and dignity,
neither, on its own, threatens the eruption of a Third World War
and the end of the human race as we know it. Just in time, we have
in our hands an intelligent text that strengthens our struggle
against the cynical machinations of the American military behemoth
and its propaganda machine.
