Praise for Tom Engelhardt's *The United States of Fear*"Tom Engelhardt, as always, focuses his laser-like intelligence on a core problem that the media avoid. . . . A stunning polemic."Mike DavisPraise for *The American War of War*"A tour de force."Jeremy ScahillIn 1964, a book entitled *The Invisible Government* shocked Americans with its revelations of a growing world of intelligence agencies playing fast and loose around the planet, a secret government lodged inside the one they knew that even the president didn't fully control. Almost half a century later, everything about that "invisible government" has grown vastly larger, more disturbing, and far more visible. In his new book, Tom Engelhardt takes in something new under the sun: what is no longer, as in the 1960s, a national security state, but a global security one, fighting secret wars that have turned the president into an assassin-in-chief. *Shadow Government* offers a powerful survey of a democracy of the wealthy that your grandparents wouldn't have recognized.**Tom Engelhardt** created and runs the TomDispatch.com website, a project of the Nation Institute, where he is a fellow.
