The new American militarism how Americans are seduced by war

Bacevich warns of a dangerous dual obsession that has taken hold of Americans, conservatives and liberals alike. It is a marriage of militarism and utopian ideology--of unprecedented military might wed to a blind faith in the universality of American values. This, Bacevich argues, commits Americans to turning the US into a crusader state with a self-proclaimed mission of driving history to its final destination: the world-wide embrace of the American way of life. This mindset invites endless war and the ever-deepening militarization of US policy. The upshot, acutely evident in the aftermath of 9/11, has been a revival of vast ambitions and certainty, this time married to a pronounced affinity for the sword. As it alienates others, it will leave the United States increasingly isolated. It will end in bankruptcy, moral as well as economic, and in abject failure.--From publisher description.

  • "Examines America's militaristic foreign policy following the Vietnam War and the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, arguing that the U.S. is on a crusade to win the world over to the American way of life which is taking the nation far from its founding ideals and will cause the U.S. moral and economic harm."
