Description

DON DELILLO HASBEEN "STRANGELY PROPHETIC about twenty-first-century America" (The Brand New York Times Book Review). In his earlier books, he's discussed the Cold-War, conspiracy-theory and worldwide terrorism. Today, in Stage Omega, he checks your brain and heart of the "security intellectual," among the guys active in the administration of the nation's war machine.Richard Elster was a student -- an outsider -- when he was called to a gathering with government war organizers, requested to use "tips and concepts to such issues as troop implementation and counterinsurgency."We view Elster at the conclusion of his support. He's retreated to the wilderness, "someplace south of nowhere," looking for geologic and room period.
