Yet, once the ballots have been cast and the camera crews go home, the American war machine chugs along in almost complete obscurity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\t\u003cp\u003eThe journalist and political analyst Norman Solomon's \u003cem\u003eWar Made Invisible\u003c\/em\u003e is a \"gripping and painful study\" (Noam Chomsky) of the mechanisms behind our invisible, but perpetual, national state of war. From ever-compliant journalists serving as little more than stenographers for the Pentagon to futuristic military technology, horrifying in its destructive power, that makes dropping a bomb or pulling the trigger on a drone strike more of an abstraction than a moral calculation, Solomon's \"staggeringly important intervention\" (Naomi Klein) exposes the profoundly human consequences at home and abroad of the bipartisan commitment to war making.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\t\u003cp\u003eIn an era of increasing global instability in which it is all too easy to succumb to despair, Solomon pierces the \"manufactured 'fog of war' . . . [and] casts sunlight, the best disinfectant, on the propaganda that fuels perpetual war\" (Amy Goodman). Now in paperback with a new preface by the author on the Gaza war, Solomon's incisive, ever-timely analysis \"provide[s] the fresh and profound clarity that our country desperately needs\" (Daniel Ellsberg) now more than ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781620979167\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272","brand":"Norman Solomon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44493179388085,"sku":"9781620979167","price":16.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_e2dd049b-3539-4568-a3b4-9caed46ac6bb.jpg?v=1721747365","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/war-made-invisible-how-america-hides-the-human-toll-of-its-military-machine-9781620979167","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
