NYT Book Review – Limits of Power
Andrew Bacevich’s new book, The Limits of Power, reviewed this past week in the Times’ Book Review, postulates that modern America’s concept of ‘freedom’ has been slowly and steadily confused with ideas of consumption and gluttony. The argument in the book is tied largely to prime examples from the Bush Administration’s foreign policy of the past 7.5 years. It reads like an obvious but necessary point.
Nicholas Blechman actually volunteered to typeset the page around the illustration of the balloon when this idea proved to be the winner among the batch that I sent him for the accompanying illustration. Nicholas Blechman is freakin’ awesome.
