Season 3, Episode 5: Norman Solomon, War Made Invisible: How America Hides the Human Toll of Its Military Machine

Send us a text


Join Professor Jeffrey Sachs and political and media analyst
Norman Solomon as they discuss Solomon’s important new book, War
Made Invisible: How America Hides the Human Toll of Its Military
Machine. 

Listen in as Solomon and Sachs explore the intricate interplay
between the mainstream media and powerful political forces that
promote America’s disastrous “wars of choice” – including the
US-led wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and currently the
US-Russia proxy war in Ukraine and the US backing of Israel’s war
in Gaza.   


Solomon’s book explores how American foreign policy has become
one of perpetual war, and how the media systematically hide the
tragic human and political consequences of these wars, thereby
enabling the US Government to perpetuate these conflicts.
