Blowback
-
The twenty-first century, Chalmers Johnson tells us, will be a payback world in which the United States will reap the global resentments it is now sowing. "Blowback," a term invented by the CIA, refers to the unintended consequences of American policies ... Johnson lays out in vivid detail the dangers faced by our overextended empire, which insists on projecting its military power to every corner of the earth and using American capital and markets to force global economic integration on its own terms.BoyCaught picked up this book way back in the summer of 2000. It ended up on the night table -- actually, the floor -- and instead of getting read, it served to prop up all of the web development, SQL, and Java books that are necessary for the daytime job. Seem like now's a good time to start reading this one.
