[Note for TomDispatch readers: Don’t miss the review Dan Froomkin, the Huffington Post’s senior Washington correspondent, wrote about my new book, The American Way of War: How Bush’s Wars Became Obama’s, under the title “The Essential, Undistractable Engelhardt” for his Neiman Watchdog website (cross-posted at the Huffington Post). Here are a few excerpts: “The mainstream media have always been easily distracted and beguiled... This makes us particularly fortunate to have a few relentless souls like Tom Engelhardt around, using the Internet not to chase the latest chatter but to tenaciously chronicle, explore, and illuminate the unspoken realities that shape our political discourse... Engelhardt, a longtime book editor, is the creator and editor of the TomDispatch.com website… He is the finder and cultivator of important progressive voices… But at the heart of TomDispatch.com is Engelhardt's own work and his... thesis that America is a modern empire that has become addicted to the wars that are hastening its decline... His new book is a seamlessly edited collection of his writings... and establishes him as one of the grand chroniclers of the post-9/11 era.” And keep in mind that if you buy my book, or anything else, after arriving at Amazon.com via a book link at this site, TD gets a small percentage of your purchase at no cost to you. If you’re an Amazon shopper, get in the habit. It’s an easy way to support TomDispatch and is greatly appreciated! Keep an eye out for the next TD post Thursday on our more relaxed summer schedule, a new piece by Andrew Bacevich. Tom]
