Book Description

In HOW MUCH MONEY DID YOU MAKE ON THE WAR DADDY? arms trade expert and comedian William Hartung offers an in-depth look at how the Bush Administration and its supporters profited from the conflict in Iraq and the ongoing war against terrorism. Hartung examines how George W. Bush and Donald Rumsfeld have presided over the biggest bonanza for weapons makers since Ronald Reagan's time in office, and how continued international conflict is in the best interest of many of the Bush Administrations main supporters. He exposes where the money comes from, how it gets spent, who benefits from it and how the public are misled on a regular basis both the US government and big business. Hartung also looks at how the American popular media have increasingly become agencies of government propaganda and tools for building public support for aggressive action against foreign governments.

Book Description

James F. Dunnigan and Albert A. Nofi's Dirty Little Secrets of the Vietnam War allows us to see what really happened to American forces in Southeast Asia, separating popular myth from explosive reality in a clear, concise manner. Containing more than two hundred examinations of different aspects of the war, the book questions why the American military ignored the lessons taught by previous encounters with insurgency forces; probes the use of group think and mind control by the North Vietnamese; and explores the role technology played in shaping the way the war was fought. Of course, the book also reveals the "dirty little secrets," the truth behind such aspects of the conflict as the rise of the Montagnard mercenaries--the most feared group of soldiers participating in the secret war in Laos-and the details of the hidden struggle for the Ho Chi Minh Trail. With its unique and perceptive examination of the conflict, Dirty Little Secrets of the Vietnam War by James F. Dunnigan & Albert A. Nofi offers a critical addition to the library of Vietnam War history.

Book Description

Fighting Dirty tells the story of how one small group of farmers, small-town residents, and Indigenous people fought the world’s largest waste disposal company to stop them from expanding a local dumpsite into a massive land fill. As one of the experts brought in to assess the impact the toxic waste would have on the community, Poh-Gek Forkert was part of the adventures and misadventures of their decades-long fight. “Fighting Dirty is an inspiring read for all activists battling against the money and power of corporations. It shows that when a small group of determined, committed citizens don’t give up, leaders and unexpected opportunities will emerge. When the cause is just, good people can win.” —David Suzuki, internationally-renowned environmentalist.
