The Deep State

Praise for The Deep State

“Lofgren puts a name and a shape to a problem that has often been only nebulously defined…. The logic and sophistication of his argument is hard to resist.”
– Salon

“The book’s greatest value is Lofgren’s description of Washington DC”
– Financial Times

“Lofgren leaves no president or party unscathed. . . Although The Deep State might sound like an expose on, say, the government’s assasination of JFK, or a cover-up of UFOs, the real story is much more insidious, realistic and troubling.”
–Pittsburg Post-Gazette

“With echoes of Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Farewell Address warning in 1961 about the military-industrial complex, Lofgren offers a compelling vision of what happens when a democracy becomes a plutocracy, when political dysfunction reigns supreme over democratic deliberation, and when the war on terrorism leads to the militarization of our foreign policy. . . A must-read for anyone interested in the health and sanity of our body politic.”
