In the last decades, America has gone to war as supposed defenders of democracy. The War on Terror was waged to protect the West from the dangers of Islamists. US soldiers are stationed in more than 800 locations across the world to act as the righteous arbiters of the rule of law. In this book, Andrew Cockburn brilliantly dissects the intentions behind Washington's martial appetites.

I’m generally a big Cockburn fan and agree with most of what he says here, but this feels like a very disjointed book. The sudden pivot to high finance in the last few chapters after a near-exclusive focus on military industrial malfeasance for the first 75% of the book is jarring. It feels like it lacks any kind of coherent thesis and is kind of just Cockburn “playing the hits”. Overall a worthwhile read, but if you’ve been following Cockburn’s career there won’t be much new here.
