This slim book is a concise and readable history of American militarism in comic form. It reveals how war-dependent the American economy has become. It pulls no punches in depicting the undemocratic policies the American government has enacted in other countries, while selling wars with noble lies to the people at home.
Addicted to War is a witty and devastating portrait of U.S. military policy, a fine example of art serving society. - Howard Zinn
this book is its own inconvenient truth--once you read it, you won't be able to sit still during another state of the union address [as if you already could].
A shocking portrait of US-American militarism and its consequences, and a strong statement against war and for peace.
