Persuasive.” —San Francisco Chronicle “ A thoughtful, judicious, immensely readable, and vitally important book.” — Andrew J. Bacevich, author of Washington Rules and The Limits of Power From the New York Times’s veteran foreign policy editorialist, a lucid analysis of the harm caused by America’s increasingly misdirected national security state The Emergency State America’s Pursuit of Absolute Security at All Costs David C. Unger America is trapped in a state of war that has consumed our national life since before Pearl Harbor. Over seven decades and several bloody wars, Democratic and Republican politicians alike have assembled an increasingly complicated, ineffective, and outdated network of security services. Yet this pursuit has not only damaged our democratic institutions and undermined our economic strengths; it has fundamentally failed to make us safer. In The Emergency State, senior New York Times writer David C. Unger reveals the hidden costs of America’s bipartisan obsession with achieving absolute national security and traces a series of missed opportunities—from the end of World War II through the presidency of Barack Obama—when we could have rethought our defense strategy but did not. Provocative, insightful, and refreshingly nonpartisan, this is the definitive untold story of how America became so vulnerable—and how it can build real security again. n A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice pick n Over the course of 30 years at the New York Times, David C. Unger has written more than 3,500 articles n Visit theemergencystate.tumblr.com DaviD C. ungeR has been an editorial writer at the New York Times for more than thirty years and a member of the paper’s editorial board for twenty-four years.
