In America's much-touted classless society, the middle classdecried by some as a mythical construct and heralded by others as the embodiment of the American dream--has always occupied a central and controversial position. This book explores the origins of the new middle classes that emerged in the 20th century, revealing the relationship of these classes to capitalism, bureaucracy, and politics. The book is divided into four parts, addressing: the theoretical problems and historical changes brought on by the emergence of the new middle classes; status and the psychology of class; the middle class in America; and the lifestyles and political orientations of the middle classes in the United States.

Industry Reviews

"An eye-opening account of our intelligence establishment."-"Library Journal", "An outstanding book, clearly the best recent, up-to-date survey of the American intelligence community, ranking with the top half-dozen ever."-H. Bradford Westerfield, Yale University "Loch Johnson is one of the nation's leading scholars on intelligence issues. In this highly readable and provocative study, he explores the activities of the CIA and America's other intelligence agencies since the end of the Cold War. It is a work that is both thorough and objective, with an appealing sensitivity to the need for reforms. As citizens in the United States attempt to sort out and deal with the threats and opportunities that confront us in the this new world, Johnson's insights will help light the way."-Walter F. Mondale,
