Flight from Dallas presents factual documentation of the experience of Robert G. Vinson, an Air Force Sergeant with a crypto-security clearance. In 1963 Sergeant Vinson was working for the North American Air Defense Command (NORAD). On November 22 he personally and accidentally became involved in an activity connected with the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The involvement of elements of the CIA are clearly set forth including the forced transfer of Vinson to a secret CIA base in Nevada called Site (Area) 51. Compelled to remain silent due to a secrecy agreement, Vinson went public after the passage of the Assassination Records Review Board (ARRB) Act in 1993. Finding it impossible to obtain assistance from government agencies including the FBI and Department of Justice, this book is his story.

People around the world are confused and concerned. Is it a sign of strength or of weakness that the US has suddenly shifted from a politics of consensus to one of coercion on the world stage? What was really at stake in the war on Iraq? Was it all about oil and, if not, what else was involved? What role has a sagging economy played in pushing the US into foreign adventurism? What exactly is the relationship between US militarism abroad and domestic politics? These are the questions taken up in this compelling and original book. In this closely argued and clearly written book, David Harvey, one of the leading social theorists of his generation, builds a conceptual framework to expose the underlying forces at work behind these momentous shifts in US policies and politics. The compulsions behind the projection of US power on the world as a "new imperialism" are here, for the first time, laid bare for all to see.
