“The current team in Washington is acting like fanatics, tearing up treaties and ignoring old alliances in pursuit of a new and dangerous doctrine of preemption. Every day in Washingotn, spineless politicians marching lockstep with their “special interest” patrons auction off our national interest to the highest bidder. As a result, our government by, for and of the people is going, going, gone! Power Trip powerfully details this sorry state of affairs and, even more importantly, “suggests what we can all do to start moving America back in the right direction.” –Arianna Huffington
“Power Trip is an important book. It provides an insightful analysis of the evolution, execution, and potential repercussions of the Bush administration’s hard-line foreign policy doctrine since September 11th. It examines how the U.S. is losing its moral standing in the world and squandering international sympathy created in the wake of 9/11. This book warns readers that the Bush administration’s imprudent policies today could make our country less safe in the future.” –Former Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio)
“These are times for despair over the suffering that the U.S. military has inflicted on people in Iraq and elsewhere. But these are also times for rejoicing over the budding global movement for peace and justice that is challenging U.S. militarism. And these are times for educating ourselves so we can build our movement with intelligence and foresight. Power Trip gives us the critical road map we need to understand where those in power would like to take us, and how we can veer off that dangerous course to build a kinder, gentler nation and planet.” –Medea Benjamin, cofounder of Global Exchange and Code Pink: Women for Peace
“Finally, here’s a book which demonstrates authoritatively that a foreign policy based on the American values of fairness, compassion, and justice is a policy that best serves the interests of America. It’s beautiful to see that what’s good for our hearts is also good for our wallets and security.” –Ben Cohen, cofounder of Ben & Jerry’s and president of TrueMajority.org
