Almost half a century later, everything about that \"invisible government\" has grown vastly larger, more disturbing, and far more visible. In his new book, Tom Engelhardt takes in something new under the sun: what is no longer, as in the 1960s, a national security state, but a global security one, fighting secret wars that have turned the president into an assassin-in-chief. \u003ci\u003eShadow Government\u003c\/i\u003e offers a powerful survey of a democracy of the wealthy that your grandparents wouldn't have recognized.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTom Engelhardt\u003c\/b\u003e created and runs the TomDispatch.com website, a project of the Nation Institute, where he is a fellow.
