{"product_id":"world-as-it-is","title":"World As It Is","description":"A searing and provocative critique of American empire and modern warfare from a Pulitzer Prize–winning war correspondent, and one of the leading moral voices of our age\n\n“Here, Hedges shows why his journalism won awards, as he takes us to places few dare to go.” —Kirkus\n\nThe World As It Is collects the best of Hedges’s essays originally published by Truthdig, the Webby Award–winning progressive news website. Hedges draws on two decades of experience reporting from conflict zones around the world in order to dissect the nature of war and its impact on humankind. Lyrically and fearlessly, he broaches a range of controversial subjects: the United States’s wars of self-destruction in Iraq and Afghanistan, the decay of American empire at home and abroad, Israel’s ghettoization of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza, the shortcomings of American liberalism and mainstream media, the hope that Occupy Wall Street represented, and more.\n\nFilled with Hedges’s trademark candor and steadfast skepticism of power, The World As It Is serves as a bracing reminder of the need for moral conviction and the perils of compromising our values.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1568587287\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1568587287.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Hedges, Chris\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
