The Capitola Book Cafe invites you to another installment in their monthly World Affairs Book Club meetings. This month's selection is Drift: The Unmooring of American Military Power by Rachel Maddow. This book argues that we've drifted away from America's original ideals and become a nation weirdly at peace with perpetual war. Author Rachel Maddow takes readers from the Vietnam War to today's war in Afghanistan, exploring Reagan's radical presidency, the disturbing rise of executive authority, the gradual outsourcing of our war-making capabilities to private companies, and more along the way.
