I am an honors history major and studied US history and US foreign policy. I was aware of some mistakes by the US, such as giving Japanese occupiers of Korea power and then, Korean collaborators of the Japanese over regional people's committees; ignoring the gross corruption of Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist regime during the 1945-1949 civil war; ignoring the blatantly unfair practices of the Shah of Iran prior to the 1979 revolution; meddling in Brazil's internal affairs in the mid-1960s. But after reading this book, all I can say is that I wish it had been part of my college material, for although I read many books, this would have enriched my education.

The United States remains a wonderful country full of opportunities for its citizens and for legal immigrants who obey the law and contribute to the nation's well being; its freedoms, natural beauties, and cultural advancement are not to be questioned. But as far as American integrity abroad... The United States IS NOT a force for democracy. It has continually labeled internal rebellions and legitimately elected officials "communists" whenever Washington disliked the ruler or disagreed with the country's independent and non-hostile foreign policy.

I regret to confess that I have lost respect for the government of the US, and that I must rank it with the hypocritical Japanese government in terms of honesty about its past--it has not only been communist dictatorships that lied and used propaganda to deceive its own people. American foreign policy has killed millions of innocent people, and it is their blood that colors the red square in the Stars and Stripes.

A must reading for all history lovers and for all who really want to know what this great country of ours is doing abroad.

Blum's work is written in an easy-to-understand style and will thoroughly shock anyone not familiar with United States escapades around the world since the end of World War II. Blum has done excellent research and discusses the incidents with a high degree of objectivity. Although he is highly critical of the United States during the Cold War, this is by no means a pro-Soviet book, for Blum condemns the actions of both superpowers in his work. Excellent reading--packed with information (the book has relatively small print so 400+ pages is a lot)

What would this world be like without Vanunus and Blums? Blum has the incredible courage of telling us unheard and unbelievable stories, based on , yes, facts! We have been held ignorant for years by the so-called "cold war"-tactics. (Now they try islam and terrorism). Blum has thouroughly researched for the truthful story, the one we are not supposed to reach by reading microscopic puzzle-bits in the daily press and media. What actually happened around us, and still happens in Iraq, Serbia,Lybia, Lebanon, East-Timor and many other corners today is outragous.I urge anyone not beeing a coward to read this book. It will tear your world perspective in all directions, and I litterally had to reassemble the pieces from the ground. Anyone sceptic, should try to check the facts. Get this book into your hands fast and give it to as many persons you care about. I used to think there is no evil in this world. Sorry, I had to change my mind about this. The elites and national security advisers and so on, were always ahead of us about knowing the real facts, facts that do fit badly into the commonsense of history in even Academia.

... and while you are reading this book, think a bit of what is happening now in Kossovo and what happened before and during the bombing of Serbia.

Blum's chapters are short, well documented and eye opening.
I was in Baghdad during the first week of the air war (Jan 91) and the Chapter on the Gulf War is extrodinary in the way it covers salient points in about 20 pages. Lesen Sie weiter...

truly eye-opening
This is probably one of the best books that I've ever read. Not only does it say what it means in no uncertain terms, it also backs it up with huge amounts of research. Lesen Sie weiter...

Extremely informative, revealing
The question is: Is the U.S. a force for democracy? After reading this book, I would not just say no, but we are actually the antithesis of preserving democracy. Lesen Sie weiter...

Should be required reading in every school
The best summary of post-WW2 history you'll ever read. This explains how people around the globe are kept in their place.
