Yet, once the ballots have been cast and the camera crews go home, the American war machine chugs along in almost complete obscurity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe journalist and political analyst Norman Solomon's \u003ci\u003eWar Made Invisible\u003c\/i\u003e is a 'gripping and painful study' (Noam Chomsky) of the mechanisms behind our invisible, but perpetual, national state of war. From ever-compliant journalists serving as little more than stenographers for the Pentagon to futuristic military technology, horrifying in its destructive power, that makes dropping a bomb or pulling the trigger on a drone strike more of an abstraction than a moral calculation, Solomon's 'staggeringly important intervention' (Naomi Klein) exposes the profoundly human consequences at home and abroad of the bipartisan commitment to war making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn an era of increasing global instability in which it is all too easy to succumb to despair, Solomon pierces the 'manufactured \"fog of war\"...[and] casts sunlight, the best disinfectant, on the propaganda that fuels perpetual war' (Amy Goodman). Now in paperback with a new preface by the author on the Gaza war, Solomon's incisive, ever-timely analysis 'provides the fresh and profound clarity that our country desperately needs' (Daniel Ellsberg) now more than ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46852488134892,"sku":"9781620979167","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/3382323482765.jpg?v=1759153608","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/war-made-invisible-by-norman-solomon-9781620979167","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
