Addicted To War
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Addicted to War, subtitled Why The US Can't Kick Militarism, is a 77 letter-sized pages "illustrated exposé" by Joel Andreas published by Frank Dorrel with AK Press in 2002 (ISBN 1-904859-02X). Originally published in 1991, the book was out of print until Dorrel convinced Andreas to create an updated, post-9/11 version.
