WHY WE FIGHT

"It Is Nowhere Written That The American Empire Goes On Forever"

20051h 38m7.5 TMDb

Directed by Eugene Jarecki

Spoiler-Free

Is American foreign policy dominated by the idea of military supremacy? Has the military become too important in American life? Jarecki's shrewd and intelligent polemic would seem to give an affirmative answer to each of these questions.
