Chris Hedges on Matt Kennard's book The Racket.
"He exposes the hidden machinery of empire. He details its brutality, mendacity, cruelty and its dangerous self-delusions"
"In the late stage of empire...They make decisions based not on reality, but on their distorted visions of reality, one coloured by their own propaganda"
"They replace diplomacy, multilateralism and politics with unilateral threats and the blunt instrument of war"
