Joel Andreas

Addicted to War takes on the most active, powerful and destructive military in the world. Hard-hitting, carefully documented and heavily illustrated, it reveals why the United States has been involved in more wars in recent years than any other country. Read Addicted to War to find out who benefits from these military adventures, who pays-and who dies. Over 120,000 copies of the previous edition are in print. This new edition is substantially reworked and fully updated through the War in Iraq. "A witty and devastating portrait of U.S. military policy."-Howard Zinn

Joel Andreas wrote and illustrated The Incredible Rocky, the biting satire that introduced over 100,000 people to the unsavory activities of the Rockefeller family.

Amazingly efficient, very accessible information
Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 
This book pulls back the curtain on the military industrial complex that dominates U.S. policy like no other. In a highly-digestible format that can easily be read in a single sitting by almost anyone, the author provides a truly amazing amount of facts and revelations that should make even the most conservative amongst us blanch. Should be required reading (with a test) for anybody applying for a voter identification in the U.S.!

Put this one under the Christmas tree. A popular classic, now in a new reprint, strictly based on popular demand - no commercial hype whatsoever - gives an easily accessed history of the military industial complex, the ruling junta in today's America - from its very earliest roots. An invaluable educational resource in its comix format - also available in Espagnol.

REAL history lessons!
Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 
This is a fabulous book - it ought to be part of the lesson plans in every high school! Written so that even George Bush could read it - maybe not fully comprehend it. (hehe) Makes a great gift too!

America knows not the way of peace or reconciliation
Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 
in comic-book form Joel exposes the several and perrenial trend of war and imperialism imposed by the USA on other nations, and for the purpose of avarice and power by both the military officials, members of the US government, and the industrial giants that manufacture weapons. War is hell only for the recruit or victim, but it is money, comfort and political and economic freedom for every person involved in its propagation.

As the title indicates, America is so engulfed and obsessed by war and its related industies, that it does not know, and cannot handle, any other manner of resolving international conflict.
