Tom Engelhardt is a man that knows of what he speaks. I have been a subscriber to both TomDispatch, (http://www.tomdispatch.com/) and The American Empire Project (http://www.americanempireproject.com/) for a couple of years now. These are two blogs to which Tom is very closely connected. TomDispatch.com is his own, the other is a cooperative effort with some other bright folks.
Tom's new book, The American Way of War : How Bush's Wars Became Obama's appears to be another of his timely and very insightful efforts.
I just read an excerpt from this new book, and I have to recommend this book and Tom Englehardt to anyone trying to make sense of (and hopefully find our way out of ) our descent into vicious empire. In this post I am including links to the book excerpt and a recent interview with Tom on Democracy Now!

- Interview
http://www.alternet.org is the news-site where the book review is posted and it is a great source for information not told by the corporate media. http://www.democracynow.org is great as well.
Check them out for a dose of reality.
