Writer examines ‘America’s War Machine’
|
When veteran Washington, DC political journalist James McCartney passed away suddenly in May of 2011 from an aggressive form of cancer he left behind an unfinished manuscript about his decades-long reporting on the U.S. Military establishment. After his death, several friends approached his widow, former Washington Post journalist Molly Sinclair McCartney, and asked what would happen to the half-completed manuscript on Jim’s desk at their Florida retirement home.

“I don’t know,” Sinclair replied. Several suggested she take up where McCartney had left off and finish the book. So she did.
