About Grand Theft Pentagon (Common Courage Press): From
the F-22 fighter jet and B-2 bomber to the Stryker tank and Star
Wars, Grand Theft Pentagon chronicles how the Pentagon
shells out billions to politically wired arms contractors for
weapons that don't work for use against an enemy that no longer
exists. St. Clair shows how many of the biggest arms contracts
were literally inside jobs, negotiated by Pentagon generals who
later went to work for the very same corporations that were
awarded the contracts.
