From the Publisher
With illustrations by award-winning comic artist Joe Sacco, Chris
Hedges portrays a suffering nation on the cusp of widespread revolt
and addresses Occupy Wall Street in his first book since the
international protests began.
In the tradition of Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, Hedges
and Sacco travel to the depressed pockets of the United States to
report on recession-era America. What they find in Camden, New
Jersey, the devastated coalmines of West Virginia, on the Lakota
reservation in South Dakota, and in undocumented farmworker
colonies in California is a thriving neofeudalism. With
extraordinary on-the-ground reportage and illustration, Days of
Destruction, Days of Revolt provides a terrifying glimpse of a
future for America and the nations that follow her lead--a future
that will be avoided with nothing short of revolution.
