Since 9/11, the United States have been waging a war on terrorism in the name of the "free" world. This "imperial" vision is not surprising coming from a nation that, world wars apart, has sent troops into 28 centuries in a century! First beneficiary of this interventionist frenzy: the military-industrial complex, about which President Eisenhower had once foreseen the threat. 50 years later, when America is in Iraq, the Pentagon alone accounts for three-quarters of the planet’s military expenditure. In La Cabale, retired career officer Karen Kwiatkowski and writer Joe Trento describe the workings of an ever-growing addiction to war. They look back on the genesis of the war in Iraq, the criminal sophistication of the scenario foisted on public opinion about weapons of mass destruction. They explain in detail the lie sold to the American people, Congress, the allies, the UN, the world... and the political damage it has wreaked.
