The author argues that the school's very existence is a hidden consequence of the imperialistic foreign policy shamelessly pursued by our government for decades, all with the express purpose of maintaining world dominance. Nelson-Pallmeyer offersideas for ways to work toward closing the school, but he suggests that the true task ahead of us is continual, active opposition to the death-bringinghunger for power and control--not only in the public arena, but in our personal lives. Condition: very good.
