  • Builds on the success of Callinicos' previous book with us - An Anti-Capitalist Manifesto.

The New Mandarins of American Power Reviews

Essential reading for those who have fought against war over the past two years and who see it as the defining issue of our age.

Socialist Review

This contemporary history by the UK's leading orthodox Marxist intellectual provides a satisfying narrative of the neo-conservative ascendance that enabled the second Iraq war ... New Mandarins of American Power is engaging, accessible and incisive.

Thomas Daniels, Red Pepper

Deeply informed, balanced, and full of insights, this perceptive inquiry explores the rational basis for the aggressive unilateralism of the Bush administration that has frightened much of the world, arguing plausibly that it is based on a largely accurate reading of the long-term economic and geopolitical threats facing US capitalism. It more than fulfills its goal of contributing to 'an understanding of the strange and frightening world' that is taking shape.

Noam Chomsky

Of all those seeking to make sense of rampant American power, Alex Callinicos succeeds, outstandingly with his razor-sharp analysis and eloquent warning to us all.

John Pilger
