With illustrations by award-winning comic artist Joe Sacco, Chris Hedges portrays a suffering nation on the cusp of widespread revolt & addresses Occupy Wall Street in his first book since the international protests began.

In the tradition of Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, Hedges & Sacco travel to the depressed pockets of the United States to report on recession-era America. What they find in Camden, New Jersey, the devastated coalmines of West Virginia, on the Lakota reservation in South Dakota, & in undocumented farmworker colonies in California is a thriving neofeudalism. With extraordinary on-the-ground reportage & illustration, Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt provides a terrifying glimpse of a future for America & the nations that follow her lead--a future that will be avoided with nothing short of revolution.
