  • In Part 1, Bacevich comments on S. Kinzer's book, Overthrow, before beginning his own presentation. Notice Bacevich's even tone of voice and linear presentation. Sources on what he says can be found as endnotes in The Limits of Power and his earlier book, The New American Militarism. Here, he makes the point that the US has always used military "intervention" to create our wealth and status; this use of force began to unravel or backfire in the 1970s (see New American Militarism).

  • Andrew Bacevich is one of the few scholars whose got it right and has the courage to say it.
