'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 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 American policy has caused we will never be able to stop the monster.
