What was the book Assange was holding?

Wikileaks released Chelsea Manning’s leaked documents and exposed multiple crimes committed by the U.S. government and armed forces.

Paul Jay says this is getting lost in the corporate media coverage of Assange’s arrest.  When he was arrested, Assange carried a copy of TRNN’s book “Gore Vidal on the History of the National Security State” which was based on a series of interviews conducted by Paul Jay between 2005 to 2007.

The premise of the book is the American state and its loyal media use patriotism to lie to the American people about U.S. foreign policy and militarism.
