Book Description

February 28, 2008
On February 27, 2007, during an interview with Amy Goodman, General Wesley Clark described a 2002 Pentagon conversation in which he was told that America was planning to invade Iraq. From the same source, he learned of a classified memorandum listing six other countries the United States intended to "take out" over the next five years. Most of us will never get to see this memo, but we know it exists.

Now, editor Stephen Elliott, authors Jason Roberts, Eric Martin, and Andrew Altschul, and a team of twenty researchers have re-created this document for the present day. Where to Invade Next contains seven essays, 100 percent factual, laying out in stark detail how the arguments for invasion could be made. A biting look at the role of propaganda in foreign policy, this book outlines exactly how our leaders might make the case for war.

4.0 out of 5 stars Informative but not to be taken seriously March 24, 2008
Format:Hardcover
I picked this up at the International Spy Museum in Washington D.C. Basically what the book entails are snapshots of seven different countries (Iran, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Venezuela, Syria, Sudan,and North Korea) that consist of government, why they are a threat to the United States, and how they can be eliminated as a threat. While very informative, I very seriously doubt it is to be taken seriously. At 82 pages, it's a very quick read.

1.0 out of 5 stars The idiots guide to White supremacy October 17, 2012
By Melia
Format:Hardcover
This "book" was slanderous, insensitive, and I could hear the chanting of "USA!" "USA!" at the end of each page. A hate book for uninformed people. I am curious at how it got into any kind of circulation. We still condemn acts of extremism these days don't we? Encouraging invasion and airstrikes (where to strike) to weaken islamic leaders and render them "impotent"? Each brown country was either "built on Anti-Americanism" or had an "unstable" dictator. Translation of "madrassa" is NOT an establishment of Islamic religious schools, it actually just translates to school. Finishing with "Now its time for the United States to step forward and secure this region" ... I can't go on... It was so pathetic. One for the paper recycle bin.

This is supposed to be satire?

It fails miserably. Satire is supposed to have clues. Just because you give your book an irreverent title doesn't mean someone will go "oh, okay, they're just joking".

This book and these authors, instead of creating "raw satire" (so it's satire that you literally cannot tell it's satire so it's raw? lolwut?), outline outstanding reasons to invade these seven other countries.

Their research and the clear, concise way they lay it out is terrific and they do me excellent case for regime change. They've convinced me we should go to war with these countries.

So if they set out for satire, they're miserable, abysmal failures.
