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.

Informative but not to be taken seriously

Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2008

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.

A New Kind of Satire

Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2008

Here's what I think:
In satire, the writer professes to approve the very thing he or she wishes to attack. The satirist dos so by means of irony: there is discordance between what is said and what is meant. The thing about Where To Invade Next is that it's so convincing in its approval that it hard to tell what is actually meant. There are none of the usual clues to reassure the reader of the writer's true intent. When you read The Onion, you know that they don't really mean anything they say. Where To Invade Next does not have this literary wink. There is no reassuring message that says "We are actually opposed to invasion. This is just a joke."

This is a sort of raw satire, satire stripped of its disclaimers, and it landed on me like a bomb. For an evening I was plunged into the mind of a player operating at the highest levels of world politics. It is a mind burning with terrifying paranoia, genuine care twisted into hate.

This is a different kind of satire. It does not merely mock abusive and violent persons, it takes you inside their minds. In this way it is very effective. Unless, of course, McSweeney's really has gone over to the neo-cons. You just can't tell.

A Must See Documentary

Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2016

Michael Moore's 'Where to Invade Next' is the most important documentary I have ever seen. It so vividly covers the social advances once part of our nation, adopted by others and leaving us far behind most of the rest of the western world.

Set out to create satire, Fail miserably, create instead a good case for war.

Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2012

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.

The idiots guide to White supremacy

Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2012

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.
