Quick, how many countries do we have troops in tonight? How many wars are we engaged in? How many covert military actions? The fact that most people can't answer those rather important questions are at the heart of this book, which looks at how we as a country have become so disconnected from the wars being fought on our behalf. A fascinating, surprisingly unpartisan look at a a topic most of us never consider... and our very obliviousness to said topic explains the need for the book. Great read by one of the smartest voices in the media today.
