Well documented and well written book about US intervention since WWII

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 13, 2019

Verified Purchase

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in US military and CIA interventions throughout the world since WWII. The discussion of US interventions appalled and disgusted me. Interference in elections, military support for overthrowing democratically elected governments, and training in torture techniques are all part of the US playbook. After reading this well-documented and well researched book, I will never again been naive about the nature of US involvement in the world. There has been no case since WWII where a country has been better off because of US involvement, even when the purported reason has been stated as humanitarian (NOT) and to promote democracy (NOT). The chapters are short but rich with detail. Ample footnotes are provided so that you can "fact-check" the author. What I disliked about the book is that I can no longer have any illusions about the motives of our government when intervening in other countries. I also found the small print size difficult to read---would have preferred a longer book with larger print.

Mostly for historians

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 8, 2019

Verified Purchase

Excellently written and researched book. While advertised for lay people it is really a dense, very small print remember for historians. It established no academic context, as though nobody had ever thought of this before or had ever had a different view. His focus on a very specific theme gives the impression of heavy bias. So long as the reader is aware of the things and willing to do extra reading to learn the full context of this issue this would be a great book.

And the TRUTH shall make you free.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 21, 2019

Verified Purchase

Excellent coverage of what our government and military have been up to since WWII. How hypocritical of the USA to complain about Russian involvement in our 2016 election when we've been doing that, and much more, over the years. Using the mantra STOPPING COMMUNISM over and over to justify our meddling in the affairs of so many countries.

GREAT BOOK ...... small print

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 12, 2017

Verified Purchase

Great book. I would have paid triple the price to avoid wrestling a 9X6 tightly bound thick-ish paperback with tiny print. If not for that I think I'd have finished the book in a couple of sessions ..... it's that good. I had to use a clamp to hold it open.

Next to James Douglass' JFK and the Unspeakable, probably one of the most important book you'll ever read about the shenanigan's our country has been involved it. Well researched and written.

This will make you very angry - Read it!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 15, 2020

Verified Purchase

A fantastic, engrossing piece of work.
I had to put it down after almost every chapter as it made me so angry and depressed. Blum has accumulated a wealth of evidence that gives substance to so many things I have believed for quite some time and brings into question so many things we take for granted in our view of the World.

A forever hopeful writer now gone

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on October 14, 2019

Verified Purchase

Can only read in small doses as this author can enrage a reader. The horrors and other implications of the historical behaviors described by Blum only serve to nauseate a reader. That they continue full force only serves to further the repugnance. Probably no end in site as there remains no will to confront or even acknowledge the arrogance behind such carry on. I will miss this now deceased author as he put his all into trying to sound the alarm into a very sad state of affairs.
