C-Span2 turns itself on weekends into 48 hours of book talk — a whole lotta books, and too many you’ll want to read. This Sunday, just for a taster, our friend Chalmers Johnson will be on to talk about his newest book, Nemesis: The Last Days of the American Republic. [Here’s a TomDispatch with Chalmers.]

Here’s the schedule. Don’t forget to subtract 3 hours to get west coast time.

Won’t be home at 7:00 p.m.? Don’t know how to record it? Heck, you can watch on line.

Then again, you might be more interested in The Political Economy of US Militarism by Ismael Hossein-Zadeh, an Iranian Kurd, now professor of economics at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa.
