In this incisive and controversial book, Chalmers Johnson lays out in vivid detail the dangers faced by our overextended empire and reveals the ways in which our misguided policies are planting the seeds of future disaster.

Reviews
"This no-holds-barred indictment of what Johnson calls the post-Cold War American 'global empire' is not for the faint of heart…His chilling conclusion-backed by copious and livid detail-is that a nation reaps precisely what it sows."
Publishers Weekly
"Boldly provocative…A useful and timely alert."
New York Times
"Blowback is expansive thinking…a straight-talking analysis of America's global conduct during the Cold War and since, and what we're eventually going to pay for it."
