Description
War Made Invisible: An Unflinching Exposé of America's Hidden War Costs For over two decades, the United States has been engaged in a perpetual state of war, with many of its military engagements remaining largely invisible to the American public. Journalist and political analyst Norman Solomon sheds light on this phenomenon, exposing the human toll of America's military machine and the consequences of its actions. Solomon argues that the increased use of high technology, air power, and remote drones has put distance between soldiers and the civilians who die, while also masking massive Pentagon budgets that receive bipartisan approval. This book is a timely and unflinching call for counting the true costs of war, and is a necessary antidote to twenty years of U.S. media malpractice.
