<DIV><p>Praise for Tom Engelhardt's <I>The United States of Fear</I>:</p><p>"Tom Engelhardt, as always, focuses his laser-like intelligence on a core problem that the media avoid. . . . A stunning polemic."?Mike Davis</p><p>Praise for <I>The American War of War</I>:</p><p>"A tour de force."?Jeremy Scahill</p><p>In 1964, a book entitled <I>The Invisible Government</I> shocked Americans with its revelations of a growing world of intelligence agencies playing fast and loose around the planet, a secret government lodged inside the one they knew that even the president didn't fully control. Almost half a century later, everything about that "invisible government" has grown vastly larger, more disturbing, and far more visible. In his new book, Tom Engelhardt takes in something new under the sun: what is no longer, as in the 1960s, a national security state, but a global security one, fighting secret wars that have turned the president into an assassin-in-chief. <I>Shadow Government</I> offers a powerful survey of a democracy of the wealthy that your grandparents wouldn't have recognized.</p><p><B>Tom Engelhardt</B> created and runs the TomDispatch.com website, a project of the Nation Institute, where he is a fellow. He is the author of <I>The American Way of War</I> and <I>The United States of Fear</I>, both published by Haymarket Books; a highly praised history of American triumphalism in the cold war, <I>The End of Victory Culture</I>; and of a novel, <I>The Last Days of Publishing</I>.
