Book Reviews of Brave New War: The Next Stage of Terrorism and the End of Globalization

Book Review: Globalism is no virtue
Summary: 2 Stars

Someone said we have all come to value "worldwide economic and cultural integration".

Globalism is not an ideal to me or to a growing number of Americans who are against NAFTA, GATT, the IMF, WTO, World Bank, CAFTA, European Union, North American Union, U.N., NATO, and other attempts by the international banking cartel and MNC (multi national corporations).

For a true inside view of why globalism is a terrible thing and only used as a tool by greedy corporate monsters to go against democratic will of the people, I recommend the book

"Confessions of an Economic Hitman" by John Perkins.

Of course, as growing numbers of people learn how corrupt and evil these scams are, there will be a need for these corporate quasi governmental invisible empires to protect themselves from dissenters and the people who might seek to bring those responsible for horrendous crimes to justice... cue "Brave New War".

Summary of Brave New War: The Next Stage of Terrorism and the End of Globalization

"For my money, John Robb, a former Air Force officer and tech guru, is the futurists' futurist."
-Slate

The counterterrorism expert John Robb reveals how the same technology that has enabled globalization also allows terrorists and criminals to join forces against larger adversaries with relative ease and to carry out small, inexpensive actions-like sabotaging an oil pipeline-that generate a huge return. He shows how combating the shutdown of the world's oil, high-tech, and financial markets could cost us the thing we've come to value the most-worldwide economic and cultural integration-and what we must do now to safeguard against this new method of warfare.
