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\n\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\n\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","brand":"The New Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54258161516888,"sku":"9781620979167","price":18.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781620979167.jpg?v=1765900837","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/war-made-invisible","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
