What's PAF reading?

James Caroll, House of War: The Pentagon and the disastrous rise of American power.

This is a weighty book, both literally (over 600 pages) and figuratively (dealing with the militarism at the core of American society and the global order built around it); but it's highly readable, deeply thoughtful, and thoroughly documented. This is one of the most important books I've read in years, and I recommend it very strongly.
