- Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2015Andre Vltchek has traveled all over the world to personally investigate the U.S. Empire's crimes against humanity. This is a record of his travels, his experiences and his thoughts on how things are, and how they ought to be. His is a clear voice for a revolution of the downtrodden, the exploited and the oppressed. This book is essential for anyone who wants to truly understand the geopolitical situation and how the most exploited people and nations have begun to rise up against the tyranny of the capitalist West and all its lackeys. Vltchek celebrates this new movement of anti-imperialist nations led primarily by Russia and China, but also others who refuse to bow down to the unremitting greed of capitalist imperialism. There are, it must be said, a number of proofreading errors in this book, but they do not detract from the substance of the work and its powerful message. Buy several copies and hand them out to friends and family who have begun to question the system and are eager to learn the truth!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2021In this book Vltchek exposes cruelty, corruption, murder, and other consequences of unrestrained imperialism, mostly by western powers, through the eyes of a man with socialist inclinations. He enters the world of the oppressed, often literally, physically, and reports on crimes and injustices that will shock all but the most callous doubter. He covers stories seldom reported in western MSM, and his reports are disturbingly believable. Throughout the book he wears his emotions on his sleeve. It is hard not to be drawn in.
Mr. Vltchek exhibits broad experience investigating disturbing conditions across the world, and gives a first person account of actual conditions that exist or have existed in troubled areas across the globe, including Kenya, Somalia, Panama, Central America, Turkey, Viet Nam, India, Israel, Palestine, Syria, Chile, Cambodia, and many more. Two areas stand out as being of special concern to him: DR Congo and Indonesia (including East Timor.) Both of those countries have suffered mass murders in the millions.
Reports of countries that are socialist or communist leaning such as China, North Korea, and Cuba are treated more gently in this book, exposing perhaps the author’s prejudice, but at the same time giving western readers a view generally denied them by the western mainstream media.
This book is a virtual world tour of recent history, one that is NOT written by the local Chambers of Commerce.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2015This is a large book but riveting through to the end. It is full of information that is very hard to find elsewhere and the author explains why. This book is very thought provoking and Andre's analysis is clearly thought out and convincing. This books shows the true nature of the real evil empire and the greed that is central to it. This is a must read and I have recommended it to several friends already.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2015This is a book that should be read by anybody interested in getting information which mainstream media does not provide. The author's views are based on extensive travel in conflict locations and are the result of a life which most of us in the West are not exposed to. If you want to keep your head in the sand, then do not read. If you want to know what many of the people of the world have to endure, mostly unfairly, then get this book. This author has put his life on the line to acquire the experiences enabling him to write this book. I thank him for his efforts and for the selfless way of life which he has adopted.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2015This is an unflinching and passionate research and commentary on the past and ongoing lies and crimes of empire, written by a person with first-hand experience of many of the perpetrators and enablers as well as that of many of their victims, and the neighbours, friends or relatives of these victims. Andre Vltchek goes personally, and at great personal risk, to countries all over the world that have been or are presently under the deadly thumb of various imperialist powers, and shatters the myth of the glory of empire from the point of view of the receiving end.
This is a source for constant reference and reminder of the real nature of what various elites characterize as "glorious empire".
- Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2016an impassioned argument against propaganda and imperialism. More sources and citations would make it even better.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2015I travelled with this writer all over the world, he took me on a magical carpet ride that I did not expected at all... it was shocking and informative and it opened my eyes to so many things I did not know or did not understand in this world.
I was introduced to this writer by Al-Mayadeen TV through an interview.
This book is a must read.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2016Only a third of the way through, but not a hard read the style is conversational intimate and personal and the subject matter is the stories of the lives of the many people suffering under the tyranny of the evil empire across several locations across the globe.

jake beaumontReviewed in Canada on February 13, 20195.0 out of 5 stars Incisive and poignant
A sharp polemic detailing society's ills and the wrath the West has wrought on the rest of the world. Practically Chomsky on steroids. Is it worth the money? For someone like me, probably not. But for most people who make more than minimum wage, perhaps. 4.75 strictly because of the price.
Isabelle McEwenReviewed in Germany on January 17, 20205.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic book!
This is a book anyone who wants to understand in what kind of a world we live in should definitely read.
TimReviewed in the United Kingdom on February 28, 20165.0 out of 5 stars The Truth
Yesterday there was a big anti-Trident gathering in London. On the BBC News website it was buried under stuff about Adele, the Oscars and other noisy ephemera. In his book Vltchek ignores the cheap and dangerous distractions channeled into our houses and heads. He shines a light into all those dark places the 'Empire' like s to keep dark. Bit of a plug: listen to him on the blog on the Counterpunch web-site; he's not a dry institutionalised academic. Listen and you'll have a list of poetry, novels, films and non-fiction that will keep you profitably occupied, informed and entertained for years. Wonderful stuff.
As one of the other reviewers says, there are a few stylistic and linguistic infelicities in the text. Don't worry about it. It's not slick, so what? Neither was Leadbelly, and Miles Davis didn't worry about the odd clunker did he? Both Huddie and Miles were true geniuses right?
Riley CourtReviewed in Canada on September 24, 20175.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars
A courageous writer willing to speak the truth about our "democratic" elite.
VincentReviewed in the United Kingdom on November 23, 20165.0 out of 5 stars Not mainstream media stenography.
Excellent book. Good easy reading style for a serious subject. An alternative view to the mainstream is always welcome.
