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.
