The Sorrows of Empire by Chalmers Johnson

The Sorrows of Empire by Chalmers Johnson

A stunning exposure of the policies that have led to American imperialism and the massive military deployment that accompanies it, The Sorrows of Empire proposes that the US could suffer the same "overstretch" that led to the demise of the Soviet Union. Johnson outlines the cost of Empire, both for the American people and their Republic, and for the rest of the world. Eloquent and impassioned, The Sorrows of Empire is a somber and cogent analysis, written with an authority that is impossible to ignore.

A disquieting revelation.. a powerful indictment of current U.S. military and foreign policy. * Los Angeles Times *
In Chalmers Johnson the American empire has found its Jeremiah. He deserves to be heard; but the proper response to his gloomy message is not despair, but thought followed by action. * Washington Post *

Chalmers Johnson was President of the Japan Policy Research Institute and Professor Emeritus at the University of California, San Diego. He was the author of numerous books, including Blowback: The Costs and Consequences of American Empire and Japan: Who Governs?
