Andrew Bacevish is a conservative historian who spent twenty-three years serving in the US Army. He also lost his son i Iraq last year. In a new book “The Limits of Power,” Bacevich argues that although many in this country are paying a heavy price for US domestic and foreign policy decisions, millions of Americans simply continue to shop, spend and satisfy their appetite for cheap oil, credit and the promise of freedom at home. Bacevich writes, “As the American appetite for freedom has grown, so too has our penchant for empire.” Co-sponsored by RCNV.
