Blowback: The Costs and Consequences of American Empire

Description

An account of the consequences of American global policies. The author argues that, in the 21st century, America will reap the global resentments it is now sowing. Blowback, a term that officials of the CIA first coined for their internal use, refers to the unintended consequences of American policies and the dangers faced by an over-extended empire that insists on projecting its military power to every corner of the globe and using American capital and markets to force global economic integration on its own terms.
