They wanted to show in words and drawings what life looks like in places where the marketplace rules without constraints, where human beings and the natural world are used and then discarded to maximize profit. \u003ci\u003eDays of Destruction, Days of Revolt\u003c\/i\u003e is the searing account of their travels. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The book starts in the western plains, where Native Americans were sacrificed in the giddy race for land and empire. It moves to the old manufacturing centers and coal fields that fueled the industrial revolution, but now lie depleted and in decay. It follows the steady downward spiral of American labor into the nation's produce fields and ends in Zuccotti Park where a new generation revolts against a corporate state that has handed to the young an economic, political, cultural and environmental catastrophe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chris Hedges, Joe Sacco\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1568588240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781568588247\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bold Type Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/08\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 6.80w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew Yorker (The)\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/04\/2014 pg. 24","brand":"Chris Hedges","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44055337238783,"sku":"9781568588247","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f6cb172c-a66c-4b68-8f9e-f39c7fb7c839.jpg?v=1685035180","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/days-of-destruction-days-of-chris-hedges-9781568588247","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
