A memoir of Goff's career as an NCO in the Special Forces which draws lessons from his past, lessons about the foreign policy, lessons about the police actions designed to create stable environments for US corporations in the Western Hemisphere, lessons about how the days of the American Imperium are numbered. The book covers such subjects as: the slow collapse in Armed Forces morale due to the ongoing reductions in health and pension benefits; the ignorance of the new American Empire of the lessons of history; and the failure of intelligence due to racist stereotyping.
