Opis

Blending personal history and social commentary, "Made Love, Got War" documents five decades of rising American militarism and the media s all-too-frequent failure to challenge it. The author s unique weave of personal narrative and historical inquiry, Daniel Ellsberg notes in the foreword, helps us understand where we are now and how we got here. Drawing on 40 years of intense activism, Solomon shows how the mainstream media have shaped our view of war, technology, and national purpose. In the process, he also shows why he is considered one of the sharpest media-watchers in the business (Barbara Ehrenreich) and a formidable thinker and activist ("Los Angeles Times")."
