Summary
"During the two years since September 11, the voices of dissent have been few and far between. Lewis Lapham is an exception. Now in paperback and updated with six new essays, Theater of War - reviews the state of America's politics at the turn of the new millennium, questioning the motive and feasibility, as well as the imperial pretension, of the Bush administration's never-ending crusade against all the world's evildoers."--BOOK JACKET.
