{"product_id":"9781931859547","title":"War Without End: The Iraq War in Context","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this razor-sharp analysis, TomDispatch.com commentator Michael Schwartz turns every mainstream conclusion about Iraq on its head. He shows how US occupation is fueling civil war in Iraq and beyond, and how US officials dismantled the Iraqi state and economy, helping to destroy rather than rebuild the country.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a popular style reminiscent of the best writing against the Vietnam War, he punctures the myths used to sell the US public the idea of an endless “war on terror” centered in Iraq. Schwartz shows how the real US interests in Iraq were rooted in the geopolitics of oil and the expansion of a neoliberal economic model in the Middle East—and around the globe—at gunpoint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWar Without End\u003c\/i\u003e also reveals how the failure of the United States in Iraq has forced US planners to fundamentally rethink the imperial dreams driving recent foreign policy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is the third in a series of very successful books published in cooperation with TomDispatch.com, including the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller \u003ci\u003eUnited States v.
