 kpfa.org/events  \n\n"Max Blumenthal has spent the last decade transforming 
 himself into one of the most vital voices in journalism today, always 
 speaking truth to power with fearlessness and integrity."-Reza Aslan, 
 author of Zealot\n\n"The Management of Savagery" excavates the real story 
 behind America's dealings with the world and shows how the extremist forces 
 that now threaten peace across the globe are the inevitable flowering of 
 America's imperial designs. Washington's secret funding of the mujahedin 
 provoked the Russian invasion of Afghanistan in 1979. With guns and money, 
 the United States has ever since sustained the extremists, including  Osama 
 Bin Laden, who have become its enemies. The Pentagon has trained and armed 
 jihadist elements in Afghanistan, Syria, and Libya; it has launched 
 military interventions to change regimes in the Middle East. These failed 
 wars abroad have made the United States more vulnerable to both terrorism 
 as well as native ultra-nationalism. The Trump presidency is the inevitable 
 consequence of neoconservative imperialism in the post-Cold War age. 
 Trump's dealings in the Middle East are likely only to exacerbate the 
 situation. \n\nBlumenthal's book is a damning indictment of the bipartisan 
 national security consensus and warning of its present danger to 
 democracy.\n\nMax Blumenthal is an award-winning journalist and bestselling 
 author whose articles and video documentaries have appeared in the New York 
 Times, The Daily Beast, The Guardian, Huffington Post and Salon, Al Jazeera 
 English and many other publications. \n\nHost Nora Barrows-Friedman is a 
 journalist, Electronic Intifada Associate Editor and frequent KPFA 
 Flashpoints' guest.\n\n$12 advance, $15 door.\n
