Review Quotes

'Bill Blum came by his book title easily. He simply tested America by the same standards we use to judge other countries. The result is a bill of wrongs
an especially well-documented encyclopaedia of malfeasance, mendacity and mayhem that has been hypocritically carried out in the name of democracy by those whose only true love was power.' - Sam Smith, Editor, The Progressive Review, Washington, DC

'Blum demonstrates how US policy, under the banners of freedom and human rights, has led to barbarous criminal acts, how the world's "force for peace" has acted in the most bellicose form. An eye-opener for students of national security policy.
- Saul Landau, Fellow, Institute for Policy Studies, Washington, DC

'Bravo! A vivid, well-aimed critique of the evils of US global interventionism, a superb antidote to officialdom's lies and propaganda.
- Michael Parenti, author of History as Mystery and To Kill a Nation: The Attack on Yugoslavia
