Editorial Reviews
William Bowles, "Illusion and Reality," Investigating Imperialism, September 23, 2006
A very detailed analysis of US foreign policy and especially how its words run utterly counter to its actions... How does one convey the nature of a rapacious, imperialist state to all but the already converted without reeling off statistics or resorting to lefty versions of sound bites? Elich does it with a good deal of sarcasm laced with irony, and then pours the facts on top as a rich source for us to relish... Gaining access to the facts is akin to an archaeological excavation that few either have the skill, understanding or patience to undertake. Luckily, we have people like Elich to do the digging for us.
John Catalinotto, "Countering Imperialist Propaganda," Workers World, July 20, 2006
Radical political scientist and historian Michael Parenti writes in his introduction to Greg Elich's new book, Strange Liberators: "The difference between what U.S. citizens think their rulers are doing in the world and what these rulers actually are doing is one of the great propaganda achievements of history." With his ambitious attempt to combat that propaganda, Elich confronts the lies of the U.S. government and its servile media as he takes on what he calls the "hard cases." North Korea's nuclear program, the imperialist assault on Yugoslavia and the machinations against Zimbabwe are his major topics. Even for people who have been following these conflicts closely, Elich has found material that sheds new light on the events. His work regarding the DPRK is especially on target now.
