A concise dissection of the new U.S. unilateralism, Power Trip is the first book-length critique of the fundamental shift in U.S. foreign policy to consolidate and extend U.S. global control. Charting the terrain of foreign policy after September 11 and demonstrating how the Bush administration is building on the policies of its successors, here are Barbara Ehrenreich, William Hartung, Ahmed Rashid, Michael Ratner, Noy Thrupkaew, Coletta Youngers, Mark Weisbrot, and their contemporaries with new essays on the military strategy of the Bush administration, the domestic impact of post-September 11 policies on spending priorities and civil liberties, and more.
