Living in the number one country : reflections from a critic of American empire

Herbert I. Schiller (Author)
"Living in the Number One Country is social historian Herbert I. Schiller's chronicle of how the communication business transformed and propelled post-World War II American Empire. Schiller infuses elements of his own experience growing up during the Great Depression in New York, as a bureaucrat in the civilian sector of the military occupation forces in Berlin after the war, and as a radical journalist and academic, in arguing that what he first witnessed in Germany - the way it was rebuilt to suit the needs of large-scale capital - served as the prototype for later United States imperialism."
