Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
With bracing wit and intelligence, Rachel Maddow argues that America has drifted away from its original ideals and become a nation at peace with war. To understand how the nation arrived at such a dangerous place, Maddow takes listeners from the Vietnam War to today's war in Afghanistan, along the way exploring many disturbing aspects. She shows just how much America stands to lose by allowing the priorities of the national security state to overpower political discourse.
