"Very much the movie FAHRENHEIT 9/11 should have been, and an experience audiences of every political conviction need to contend with." Ty Burr

Eugene Jarecki (THE TRIAL OF HENRY KISSINGER) explores the economic underpinnings of the American military. Are our soldiers being put in harm's way for the benefit of the manufacturers of guns, tanks, bullets and bombs? Tracing the history of what Dwight D. Eisenhower, back in 1961, dubbed "the military-industrial complex," Jarecki reveals a disturbingly intimate bond between Congress, the Pentagon and military companies. WHY WE FIGHT argues that weapon makers have become a fourth branch of government, and, as a result, American foreign policy has grown senselessly trigger-happy. Whether you believe America's occupation of Iraq is well justified, or you find Halliburton as guilty as Saddam, WHY WE FIGHT offers a troubling new perspective on the U.S. military machine.
