Description

'A fireball of terse information.'
Oliver Stone

'A remarkable collection. Blum concentrates on matters of great current significance, and does not pull his punches. They land, backed with evidence and acute analysis.'
Noam Chomsky

For over sixty-five years, the United States war machine has been on automatic pilot. Since World War II, we have been conditioned to believe that America's motives in exporting democracy are honourable, even noble.

In this startling and provocative book, William Blum, a leading dissident chronicler of US foreign policy and the author of controversial bestseller Rogue State, argues that nothing could be further from the truth.

Moreover, unless this fallacy is unlearned, and until people understand fully the worldwide suffering American policy has caused, we will never be able to stop the monster.
