An enormously useful book. . . . At a time when scholars tend to dig ever more deeply into ever more narrow subjects, Hartnett and Stengrim range across the contemporary political scene. Without descending into crude casual claims, they develop links among globalization, corporate interests, foreign policy, and military action. . . . Scholars and citizens will want [this book] on their shelves. -- Rhetoric & Public Affairs


Hartnett and Stengrim offer an elegant and profoundly disturbing argument. . . . This book should be engaged by anyone deeply concerned about both the rhetoric and the economics of globalization. -- Rhetoric Review Required reading for anybody concerned about the collateral damage done to the American republic by the Bush Administration's imbecile dream of empire. An illuminating and essential book, formidable in the muster of its facts, compelling in the force of its argument. --Lewis H. Lapham, editor, Harper's Magazine An enormously useful book. . . .
