Review
Blum demonstrates how US policy, under the banners of freedom and human rights, has led to barbarous criminal acts, how the world's force for peace has acted in the most belicose form. An eye-opener for students of national security policy. --
Saul Landau, Fellow, Institute for Policy Studies, Washington, DCBravo Blum! A vivid, well-aimed critique of the evils of US global interventionism, a superb antidote to officialdom's lies and propaganda. --
Michael Parenti, author of History as Mystery and To Kill a Nation: The Attack on YugoslaviaCritics will call this a one-sided book. But it is an invaluable corrective to the establishment portrait of America as the world's greatest force for peace. Even confirmed opponents of U.S. interventionism can find much in this important book that will both educate and shock them. --
Peter Dale Scott, former Professor at UC Berkeley, poet, and author, Deep Politics and The Death of JFKRogue State forcibly reminds us of Vice President Agnews immortal line: The United States, for all its faults, is still the greatest nation in the country. --
Gore Vidal, author of The Decline and Fall of the American Empire[..] He simply tested America by the same standards we use to judge other countries. The result is a bill of wrongs an especially well-documented encyclopedia of malfeasance, mendacity and mayhem that has been hypocritically carried out in the name of democracy by those whose only true love was power. --
