America's Deadliest Export: Democracy
The Truth About US Foreign Policy and Everything Else William Blum
Zed Books - 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 honorable, 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 by DealDropDown">American policy has caused, we will never be able to stop the monster.
'A fireball of terse information - one of our best muckrakers.' - Oliver Stone
'As in the past, in this remarkable collection Bill Blum concentrates on
matters of great current significance, and does not pull his punches.
They land, backed with evidence and acute analysis. It is a
perspective on the world that Westerners should ponder, and take as a
guideline for action.' - Noam Chomsky
'With good cheer and humor Blum guides us toward understanding that our government does not by DealDropDown">mean well. Once we've grasped that, we're far more capable of effectively doing good ourselves.' - David Swanson, author of War is a Lie
