Endorsements
"ADDICTED TO WAR is a witty and devastating portrait of U.S. military policy, a fine example of art serving society".
~Howard Zinn, author of "The People's History of the United States".
"Political comics at its best. Bitterly amusing, lively and richly informative. For people of all ages who want to understand the link between U.S. militarism, foreign policy, and corporate greed at home and abroad."
~Michael Parenti, author of "History As Mystery" and "Kill A Nation"
"Our young people will learn more about the cult of militarism in this short and accurate book by Joel Andreas, than they might learn in their first twelve years of schooling. Withholding this kind of information from the young is a betrayal of the sacred trust given to educators. Withholding this kind of information has led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of fine young people who have died as the enemy in places where they were not wanted. It has led to the death of millions of civilians who were completely innocent victims of the Addicts of War. Promulgating this book is a consciousness raising and life saving venture.
~Blase Bonpane, Ph.D.
Director, Office of the Americas
"Addicted to War" is not only a witty and entertaining portrait of our military war dependent economy but a truly relevant insight not available in mainstream media, something our children should know before they must make their choice to become fodder for the military machine.
~Susan Sarandon, Actress.
Our original White ancestors possessed both a Eurocentric racism and a religiously-based arrogant ethnocentrism that justified, and continues to justify, a continuum of expansion, initially for land, then markets and the drive for increased profits, and a way of life, i.e., the American Way of Life (AWOL). In the early 1600's, Captain John Smith of the Virginia Colony referred to the native inhabitants as "subanimals" worthy only of "extermination" as rationalization for unilaterally controlling the land and the inevitable associated guiding policies of hegemony.
Through all the phases of U.S. "Manifest Destiny," from the Appalachian Mountains and the Ohio River Valley to the Pacific Ocean, then to the entire globe, the evolving "national interest" has increasingly, and agressively, sought for our "special deserving" one-twentieth of the world's population, a disproportionate consumption of the globe's resources that at times approaches one-half of what is available for all the earth's inhabitants. Exploitation is a given! There is no possibility for justice if this unfair formula persists.
This voracious, mindless materialism can only be achieved through the use, or threat of use, of brute force. Thus, as we are addicted to AWOL, we are necessarily Addicted to War.
This illustrated expose by Joel Andreas clearly lays out this pattern, and severe problem, in the hope that people of the United States might SEE that our addictions are rapidly leading toward destruction of much of the life on our dear Mother Earth, including extinction of our species, and of course, our own "civilization." As Gandhi said, "There is enough for everyone's need, but not enough for everyone's greed." Let us pray for an historic and radical alteration of our consciousness, from that of selfishness to humble & sacred ecological interconnectedness. That would be revolutionary!
~S. Brian Willson, Veteran For Peace.
Vietnam veteran who had his legs cut off when he was run over by a U.S. naval train, carrying weapons headed for Central America, intended to kill innocent civilians in 1987.
"The idiocy of war is apparent. What is amazing is that no matter the tracts, essays and books telling us this through the ages, we resist that truth. Hopefully this political comic by Joel Andreas can pierce the tough hide of man's mind and heart."
~Edward Asner, Actor.
"Brilliant! This book is an excellent teaching tool and basic primer to help people understand some of the things that really drive this country. The art is fabulous and helps to take the sting out of such a grisly subject. What's really hard is making people recognize their own responsibility to do something about it."
~Mike Ruppert
Editor of From The Wilderness
"Addicted To War is must reading for all Americans who are concerned with understanding the true nature of U.S. foreign policy and how it effects us here at home".
~Martin Sheen, Actor
"ADDICTED TO WAR" takes on the most active, powerful and destructive military in the world. Hard-hitting, carefully documented, and heavily illustrated, it reveals why the U.S. has been involved in more wars in recent years than any other country. Read Addicted To War to find out who benefits from these military adventures, who pays and who dies.
~From the back cover of Addicted to War.
I have been working with author Joel Andreas in getting his new updated version of "Addicted To War" out to the public! It can be read in an hour, give or take 15 minutes. It is a book that can educate many people to the truth that has been kept from them by the mainstream media, by our educational system and by our society, as a whole. We plan to get it into high schools, colleges, churches, bookstores, peace organizations and wherever else we can. Also, a CD-ROM of Addicted to War will be available in the near future. I love this book!
