Former U.S. Special Forces veteran turned antiwar political activist Goff brings an idiosyncratic point of view and tone to his critique of U.S. foreign policy, much of which hinges on the idea that the complex system that is global capitalism is fundamentally at odds with the laws of entropy and is currently in the process of collapse. He combines his experiences as a soldier in Vietnam, Colombia, Haiti, and elsewhere with a more recently acquired anti-racism and feminism to his analysis of a failing U.S. imperialism that poses supreme dangers to the very survival of the human species.
