John le Carré - Democracy Now!
While John le Carré is famous for his spy novels, he wrote a widely read antiwar essay in 2003 titled “The United States of America Has Gone Mad.” He reads an excerpt.
“America has entered one of its periods of historical madness, but this is the worst I can remember: worse than McCarthyism, worse than the Bay of Pigs and in the long term potentially more disastrous than the Vietnam War.”
