ADDICTED TO WAR takes on the most active, powerful and destructive military in the world. It tells the history of U.S. foreign wars - from the Indian Wars to the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan - in a comic book format. With 77 hard-hitting pages, this book reveals why the U.S. has been involved in more wars in recent years than any other country. Packed with historical photographs and quotes from people in the military, the government, and big business, Addicted to War explains who benefits from these military adventures, who pays, and who dies. Addicted to War is being used as a history textbook in hundreds of high schools and colleges. It is carefully documented with 161 reference notes. Howard Zinn, author of 'A People's History of the United States' says: - "Addicted to War is a witty and devastating portrait of U.S. military policy, a fine example of art serving society." Addicted to War is also endorsed by Veterans For Peace, Susan Sarandon, Noam Chomsky, Ron Kovic, Martin Sheen, Cindy Sheehan, Dr. Helen Caldicott, Ramsey Clark, Ed Asner, Patch Adams, Medea Benjamin, Woody Harrelson, Kathy Kelly, Kris Kristofferson, S.
