Permanent War
The Domestic Costs of Empire

This is a PowerPoint slideshow created by Prof. Sheila Collins, William Paterson University.  Click here for the script* that accompanies the slideshow.

  • To view it as a web-based slideshow, click here.  The advantage off this version is that anyone can use it even if they do not have PowerPoint software on their computer.  It is also a much smaller file to download.  The disadvantage is that there is a very slight diminution in the sharpness and color of  the slideshow. 

Instructions.  Click your mouse to advance slide-by-slide and subtitle-by-subtitle.

The controls consist of VCR-like buttons that allow the viewer to (from left to right on the console): rewind the slideshow (move to the first slide), move to the previous slide, pause/play the presentation, and move to the next slide.  Only use the control buttons to navigate to a particular point in the the slideshow.  The control buttons will not allow you to capture all the subtitles.  That is why you should use the mouse to present the show.

  • To view it as a PowerPoint slideshow, click here.  The advantage is that you get full advantage of the PowerPoint software.  The disadvantage is that you cannot use it if you don't have PowerPoint software on your computer.  It is also a much bigger file to download, which may cause problems if you do not have a high speed (cable or DSL) connection.

Our thanks to Prof. Collins for making this presentation available on our website.  Please be sure to credit her when using this slideshow.
