The American Way Of War Part 11

Iraq Veterans Against the War and Aaron Glantz

Between the Lines: Readings on Israel, the Palestinians, and the U.S. "War on Terror"

Tikva Honig-Parna.s.s and Toufic Haddad About TomDispatch Tom Engelhardt launched TomDispatch.com in October 2001 as an e-mail publication offering commentary and collected articles from the world press. In December 2002, it gained its name, became a project of The Nation Inst.i.tute, and went online as "a regular antidote to the mainstream media." The site now features three articles a week, all original to the site. These include Engelhardt's regular commentaries, as well as the work of authors ranging from Rebecca Solnit, Chalmers Johnson, Bill McKibben, Andrew Bacevich, Barbara Ehrenreich, and Mike Davis to Michael Klare, Adam Hochschild, Noam Chomsky, Anand Gopal, and Karen J. Greenberg. Nick Turse, who also writes for the site, is its a.s.sociate editor and research director.

TomDispatch is intended to introduce readers to voices and perspectives from elsewhere (even when the elsewhere is here). Its mission is to connect some of the global dots regularly left unconnected by the mainstream media and to offer a clearer sense of how this imperial globe of ours actually works.

About Tom Engelhardt Tom Engelhardt created and runs the TomDispatch.com website, a project of The Nation Inst.i.tute, where he is a fellow. He is the author of a highly praised history of American triumphalism in the cold war, The End of Victory Culture, and of a novel, The Last Days of Publis.h.i.+ng. Many of his TomDispatch interviews were collected in Mission Unaccomplished: TomDispatch Interviews with American Iconoclasts and Dissenters. He also edited The World According to TomDispatch: America in the New Age of Empire, a collection of pieces from his site that functions as an alternative history of the mad Bush years.

TomDispatch is the sideline that ate his life. Before that he worked as an editor at Pacific News Service in the early 1970s, and, these last four decades, as an editor in book publis.h.i.+ng. For fifteen years, he was Senior Editor at Pantheon Books, where he edited and published award-winning works ranging from Art Spiegelman's Maus and John Dower's War Without Mercy to Eduardo Galeano's Memory of Fire trilogy. He is now Consulting Editor at Metropolitan Books, as well as the cofounder and coeditor of Metropolitan's the American Empire Project, where he has published bestselling works by Chalmers Johnson, Andrew Bacevich, and Noam Chomsky, among others. Many of the authors whose books he has edited and published over the years now write for TomDispatch.com. For a number of years, he was also a Teaching Fellow at the Graduate School of Journalism at the University of California, Berkeley. He is married to Nancy J. Garrity, a therapist, and has two children, Maggie and Will.
