Publisher's Notes
THE TWILIGHT OF AMERICAN CULTURE appeared in 2000 like a prophetic thunderbolt, warning that America’s corporate culture and rampant materialism would set off an international counter-response. In his new work, Morris Berman discusses the coming collapse of the American economy, burdened by costly wars and insurmountable debt, the disappearance of democratic ideals, and the emergence of a new "seamless propaganda machine" that has destroyed popular discourse to the point that we now dwell in a miasma of propagandistic fog. We have been brought to this pass by our values and daily behavior, Berman avers. DARK AGES AMERICA is a clarion jeremiad in the tradition of Philip Slater’s landmark work, THE PURSUIT OF LONELINESS and Christopher Lasch’s THE CULTURE OF NARCISSISM.

Cruel and Unusual
by Mark Crispin Miller
A mordant and passionate exposé of the right-wing threat to American democracy and freedom. Read a newspaper or catch the news on television, and you might get the impression that America's current leadership is "mainstream": perhaps a bit more conservative and in its foreign policy more belligerent than its predecessors, but still a federal authority that functions within America's political traditions. But as Mark Crispin Miller argues here with great clarity and effect, we are in fact living in a state that would appall the Founding Fathers: a state that is neither democratic nor republican, and no more "conservative" than it is liberal. He exposes the Bush Republicans' contempt for democratic practice, their bullying religiosity, their reckless militarism, their apocalyptic views of the economy and the planet, and—above all—their emotional dependence on sheer hatefulness. Abraham Lincoln once observed that, if the United States should ever be subverted, "it will be conquered from within." And that is exactly what has happened.
