LIVING BY THE SWORD: The War Addiction of America's Elite

By placing facts within their institutional context, this book uncovers the intricate connections between the military/economic alliance in America and the resulting globalization of poverty. Using the depth of the sociological imagination, the author provides a picture of reality that is often overlooked by journalists and commentators who routinely report facts detached from their sociological roots.<br><br> <i>“M. Asadi's essay on the United States war in Iraq is both passionate in its commitment to human rights and rich in its use of data. It draws skillfully on C. Wright Mills and other scholars to paint a devastating portrait of the war, but also to reflect profoundly on the policies of the United States and their human consequences all over the world.”</i><br><br><b> Howard Zinn</b><br> Author of, <u>A PEOPLE’S HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES</u><br><br><b>Nominated for the <u>,<i>C.
