In HOW MUCH MONEY DID YOU MAKE ON THE WAR DADDY? arms trade expert and comedian William Hartung offers an in-depth look at how the Bush Administration and its supporters profited from the conflict in Iraq and the ongoing war against terrorism. Hartung examines how George W. Bush and Donald Rumsfeld have presided over the biggest bonanza for weapons makers since Ronald Reagan's time in office, and how continued international conflict is in the best interest of many of the Bush Administrations main supporters. He exposes where the money comes from, how it gets spent, who benefits from it and how the public are misled on a regular basis both the US government and big business. Hartung also looks at how the American popular media have increasingly become agencies of government propaganda and tools for building public support for aggressive action against foreign governments.
