The End of Victory Culture: Cold War America and the Disillusioning of a Generation (Revised Edition with new preface and afterword)
(In a substantial new afterword to his classic account of ...)
In a substantial new afterword to his classic account of the collapse of American triumphalism in the wake of World War II, Tom Engelhardt carries that story into the twenty-first century. He explores how, in the aftermath of September 11, 2001, the younger George Bush headed for the Wild West (Osama bin Laden, "Wanted, Dead or Alive"); how his administration brought "victory culture" roaring back as part of its Global War on Terror and its rush to invade Saddam Husseins's Iraq; and how, from its "Mission Accomplished" moment on, its various stories of triumph crashed and burned in that land.

The United States of Fear
( In 2008, when the U.S. National Intelligence Council is...)
In 2008, when the U.S. National Intelligence Council issued its latest report meant for the administration of newly elected President Barack Obama, it predicted that the planet’s sole superpower” would suffer a modest decline and a soft landing fifteen years hence. In his new book The United States of Fear, Tom Engelhardt makes clear that Americans should don their crash helmets and buckle their seat belts, because the United States is on the path to a major decline at a startling speed. Engelhardt offers a savage anatomy of how successive administrations in Washington took the Soviet path”pouring American treasure into the military, war, and national securityand so helped drive their country off the nearest cliff. This is the startling tale of how fear was profitably shot into the national bloodstream, how the countrygripped by terror fantasieswas locked down, and how a brain-dead Washington elite fiddled (and profited) while America quietly burned. Think of it as the story of how the Cold War really ended, with the triumphalist sole superpower” of 1991 heading slowly for the same exit through which the Soviet Union left the stage twenty years earlier.

There"s a word I often think about because it"s such a negative in our society, which is "used." You say a "used" car—something previously owned and not particularly good, or "I"ve been used, I"ve been exploited." But the most beautiful feeling about editing for an editor is that feeling of being used and subsumed.
