William Arkin talked about his book, American Coup: How a Terrified Government is Destroying the Constitution, on BookTV (C-SPAN), October 23, 2013.
His first work of fiction, History in One Act: A Novel of 9/11, will be out in 2021. Here are some reviews & praise for William Arkin’s American Coup…
“A systematic discussion that provides a well-documented basis for assessing future developments.”
“Bill Arkin has a knack for stirring our national pot on uncomfortable issues that must be addressed. Today’s world demands unconventional views on unconventional security challenges facing the United States. Bill asks tough questions of our security institutions, and the right answers demand a delicate balance between national-security preparedness and constitutional protections afforded to our citizens.”
“If anybody else had written this book, I would urge caution. But Bill Arkin has explored every nook and cranny of American national-security policy for decades, from nuclear-weapons targeting to war plans for the invasion of Iraq, and his reputation for sober accuracy is rock solid.”
