Publisher's Synopsis
Neville, a political satirist jailed after the Oz magazine censorship trials in the 1960s, mocks the culture that sees the world as either a target market or a target' - a culture, he says, that reveals a disturbing identification with Imperial Rome. Neville provoked outrage for his essay describing the US as a nation out of control and bent on serving its interests at any cost. In the wake of 9/11 he warns that America has become a wounded Goliath whose impaired psychic gridlock of us/them spells further destruction for the planet unless Uncle Sam can find himself.'
