garrett reviewed The Spoils of War by Andrew Cockburn
Review of 'The Spoils of War' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I'd recommend this for anyone trying to get a big picture of the way weapons manufacturing and finance shapes our country's war machine, something that should be scandalous to any American. The only knock on this book is the last couple chapters relating to the 2008 finance crisis, which seems disjointed from the rest of the book. The cut from military funding to speculative banking just feels a bit breakneck and not in line with the overall narrative.
