Eichmann on the Potomac The Psychopathology of Drone Warfare

by Norman Pollack

Product Description "Pollack is the Hannah Arendt of our time."—Gabriel Kolko A searing indictment of the Barack Obama administration and the unchecked growth of executive power, Eichmann on the Potomac is a political and psychological profile of the contemporary imperial mindset.
