Description: "Hedges offers his unvarnished views on topics rarely aired by the corporate media, including the hopeless corruption of our political system and the urgent need for a third-party rebellion; the difficulty of challenging the prevailing story lines of the Washington elite and the Israeli government; the disturbing parallels between current US conditions and the collapse of Balkans society into fascist violence during the 1990s; the criminalization of poverty; how many of the best and brightest in black America are siphoned from school to prison; and how the pornography industry reflects the most dehumanizing qualities of global capitalism"--Jacket sleeve.
