   \n\nAmerica, The Farewell Tour is a book that should disturb and anger 
 all of us. It is a profoundly sobering, upsetting portrait of our country 
 as it is, not as we wish it to be. \n  \nChris Hedges shows us a country 
 that should shame us, a land of rampant and deadly drug addiction, of 
 escape into gambling and pornography, of xenophobic scapegoating - a 
 country where the super rich exploit the poor and vulnerable. He is calling 
 us out for having become a corporate state where the dignity and worth of 
 the individual no longer matter. \n\nThis is a profound and provocative 
 examination of America in crisis, convulsed by pathologies that have risen 
 from the sense of hopelessness. Hedges examines our retreat into gambling, 
 pornography, and drugs as Americans attempt to cope with an economic 
 collapse that has left so many out of work and others working two or even 
 three jobs just to stay afloat. As our society unravels, we also must face 
 global upheavals, specifically the emerging catastrophes wrought by climate 
 change. He argues that we must reverse the corporate coup d'etat destroying 
 our country and combat the current crisis by waging a cultural, moral and 
 even spiritual resistance.\n\nChris Hedges is a Pulitzer Prize-winning 
 journalist who has reported from more than 50 countries. He spent 15 years 
 at The New York Times as a foreign correspondent and bureau chief. He is 
 the author of twelve previous books, including the bestselling American 
 Fascists, Death of the Liberal Class, and War Is a Force That Gives Us 
 Meaning. \n\nNorman Solomon is a  media critic and a journalist with 
 ExposeFacts.org, a project of the Institute for Public Accuracy. He is also 
 the author of numerous books and a co-founder of RootsAction.org.\n\n$15 
 advance, $18 door.\n
