5.0 out of 5 starsWilliam Blum's "Cri de Coeur"
By Gary Corseri on February 9, 2013
Format: Paperback
William Blum's Cri de Coeur
A review of "America's Deadliest Export: Democracy" by William Blum (Zed Books, London/New York, 2013.)
Reviewed by Gary Corseri

(As it has appeared at DissidentVoice, OpEdNews, etc.):

In activist-author-publisher William Blum's new book, America's Deadliest Export: Democracy, he tells the story of how he got his 15 minutes of fame back in 2006. Osama bin Laden had released an audiotape, declaring: "If you [Americans] are sincere in your desire for peace and security... and if Bush decides to carry on with his lies and oppression, then it would be useful for you to read the book Rogue State." Bin Laden then quoted from the Foreword of Blum's 2000 book, Rogue State: A Guide to the World's Only Superpower, in which he had mused:
"If I were... president, I could stop terrorist attacks [on us] in a few days. Permanently. I would first apologize... to all the widows and the orphans, the impoverished and the tortured, and all the many millions of other victims of American imperialism. I would then announce that America's global interventions... have come to an end. And I would inform Israel that it is no longer the 51st state of the union but... a foreign country. I would then reduce the military budget by at least 90% and use the savings to pay reparations to the victims. ... That's what I'd do on my first three days in the White House. On the fourth day, I'd be assassinated."
Unfortunately, Blum never made it to the White House! But, fortunately, for those who have read his books or follow his "Anti-Empire Reports" on the Web, he was not assassinated!Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsTruth of american foreign policy
By Joan M McGreevy on June 6, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
America's deadliest export;Democracy was not a big surprise to me since I have been aware of the nature of our bloody brutal empire for about 10 years when I was 42, but it did reveal to me some things that I was still unaware of. I devoured it. I finished it much quicker than most books I read. I particularly love pages 16 and 17 where he gives 6 main points the empire is interested in.1 The US does not mean well. 2. The US is not concerned with democracy. 3. Anti-american terrorists are motivated by decades of awful things done to their homelands by US foreign policy. 4. The US supports terrorism against "OFFICIAL" enemies. 5. Iraq was no threat to the US. 6. There was never any such animal as the International Communist conspiracy. Read it for yourself and judge for yourself!

5.0 out of 5 starsMoney buys everything, even your constitutional rights.
By Andrea LaRiviere on October 8, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition
Not enough American's know what their government is doing behind closed doors. We often hear "Do you understand foreign policy?" when candidates for president debate on television but we never hear any details. This book tells you why. Edward Snowden only cracked open Pandora's box. Blum takes the lid completely off. We have criminals running our country and they're sitting in both political parties. Money buys everything, even your constitutional rights.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Truth Hurts
By E.W. on February 7, 2013
Format: Paperback
Blum lays it all out for you. Like his other books, "Killing Hope" and "Rogue State", he sets out to prove that the United States is absolutely NOT a force for good in the world - quite the opposite. The ruling class owners of this society don't mean well and just fall short from time to time. All the sanctimonious babbling about freedom and democracy are nothing more than completely cynical hypocrisy. Blum succeeds in tearing away the curtain and showing the U.S. in its true guise: a deadly empire with no regard for its own citizens or anyone else in the relentless pursuit of power, profit and world domination; ultra-wealthy capitalists at their very worst.

Blum is funny, and an excellent and dedicated researcher, activist, and dissident. His work, exposing the hypocrisy of American administrations around the world is important and a reminder that changing the world for the better will take a lot of work.

5.0 out of 5 starsAn Education in Truth
By Bibliophile on August 12, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Perfect Title for this book which gives chapter and verse on why Democracy (should be in quotes) bc what we think of Democracy and what is and has been, uh, exported....are absolutely deadly and horrible and complete 180s from what corporate media tells us. I used to wonder growing up why "We" always seemed to be on the wrong side. Well, this book and others have informed me "we" weren't. Our Gov't was supporting the so-called rebels, renegades, etc., and learned why. These Democratically elected Presidents and leaders of other countries, particularly in So. America (too close for comfort) were Socialist, and for a Country led by the nose by special interest groups and int'l businesses, where Capitalism - rampant out-of-control Greed-mongering is what it is - could not have Socialist gov'ts succeed in our hemisphere. For this, they have been punished for decades. We have a horrifying history! May God forgive us. Socialism is NOT Communism, but that's trotted out every time FREE Medical Care for everyone is brought up. We're the only Western Country that does not provide that for Its Citizens. The only Country that does not provide FREE higher education for Its People. Socialism puts the Community's welfare and health in first place rather than only 1% of it as we have here.
