DESCRIPTION:Greg Grandin discusses his latest book Empire’s Workshop. Empire's 
 Workshop is one of the first books to examine how a preemptive foreign 
 policy in Latin America, which included sponsoring coups, death-squad 
 states, and paramilitary insurgencies, has transformed America's domestic 
 policies, forging today's ruling coalition of neoconservatives, Christian 
 evangelicals, free marketers, and nationalists. The road to war in Iraq, 
 Grandin provocatively argues, can be traced back to the 1970s and 1980s, 
 when an increasingly internationalist New Right turned to Latin America to 
 avenge Vietnam, and in so doing rehabilitated militarism as a legitimate 
 instrument of state and made free-market capitalism the moral core of 
 American purpose abroad.\n
