Praise for Tom Engelhardt's 'The United States of Fear' 'Tom Engelhardt, as always, focuses his laser-like intelligence on a core problem that the media avoid […] . A stunning polemic. '--Mike DavisPraise for 'The American War of War' 'A tour de force. '--Jeremy ScahillIn 1964, a book entitled 'The Invisible Government' shocked Americans with its revelations of a growing world of intelligence agencies playing fast and loose around the planet, a secret government lodged inside the one they knew that even the president didn't fully control. Almost half a century later, everything about that 'invisible government' has grown vastly larger, more disturbing, and far more visible. In his new book, Tom Engelhardt takes in something new under the sun: what is no longer, as in the 1960s, a national security state, but a global security one, fighting secret wars that have turned the president into an assassin-in-chief. 'Shadow Government' offers a powerful survey of a democracy of the wealthy that your grandparents wouldn't have recognized. Tom Engelhardt created and runs the TomDispatch. com website, a project of the Nation Institute, where he is a fellow. He is the author of 'The American Way of War' and 'The United States of Fear, ' both published by Haymarket Books; a highly praised history of American triumphalism in the cold war, 'The End of Victory Culture'; and of a novel, 'The Last Days of Publishing. ' He lives in New York. Glenn Greenwald is a columnist on civil liberties and US national security issues for the 'Guardian. '
