Mission Unaccomplished

Tomdispatch Interviews with American Iconoclasts & Dissenters

Tom Engelhardt
November 2006     ISBN: 1560259388


These long-form conversations with Howard Zinn, Chalmers Johnson, Cindy Sheehan, Mike Davis, Barbara Ehrenreich, James Carroll, Katrina vanden Heuvel, Andrew Bacevich, and others, focus on the Bush administration's imperial dreams and misguided actions, suggesting new ways to frame American global policy, while catching the white heat of our moment. A vivid, original chronicle of our troubling times.

What readers are saying

"At a time when the mainstream media leave out half of what the public needs to know, while at the same time purveying oceans of official nonsense, the public needs an alternative source of news. For years now, Tom Engelhardt's Tomdispatch has been that for me. He is my mainstream. Now he presents a series of brilliant interviews he has done for the site, and they, taken as a whole, themselves form a searching chronicle of our time." --Jonathan Schell
