 have torched the Constitution and brought the American Republic to 
 death’s door.  \n\n—Karen Kwiatkowski, retired U.S.Air Force lieutenant

 truth.”\n—James Carroll, author of House of War\n \n"Chalmers Johnson, 
 a patriot who pulls no punches, has emerged as our most prescient critic of 
 American empire and its pretensions.  Nemesis is his fiercest book—and 
 his best.”\n—Andrew J. Bacevich, author of The New American 
 Militarism\n\n“Last fall a treasonous Congress gave the president license 
 to kidnap, torture—you name it—on an imperial scale. All of us, 
 citizens and noncitizens alike, are fair game.” \n— Ray McGovern, 
 former CIA analyst\n\nSponsored by KPFA Radio, Global Exchange, and many 
 Bay Area independent bookstores.\n\nMedia Contacts: 	June Brashares,
