Summary

"A hybrid of social commentary and memoir [in which Edstrom posits that] blind support for war exacerbates the problems it's intended to resolve, devastates the people allegedly being helped, and diverts assets from far larger threats like climate change. Un-American is a revolutionary act, offering a blueprint for redressing America's relationship with patriotism, the military, and military spending"--, Provided by publisher
