[Note for TomDispatch readers: A week from now we’re planning to launch the newest Dispatch book, Nick Turse’s Tomorrow’s Battlefield: U.S. Proxy Wars and Secret Ops in Africa.
It is, I think, a monument to what one intrepid, determined, and canny
reporter can do on his own without the backing of a major (or even
minor) mainstream media outfit. It’s also Turse’s riveting record of
how, over these last years, the U.S. military took -- and lost -- Africa
at one and the same time. You won’t find anything like it elsewhere.
Next week, with another bang-up Turse piece, we’ll officially launch the
book and offer you a chance to receive your own signed, personalized
copy in return for a donation to the site. In the meantime, if you want
to be the first on your block to get your hands on Tomorrow’s Battlefield, then preorder it this second! You can purchase it directly from our wonderfully dedicated publisher, Haymarket Books, by clicking here. Tom]
