Editorial Reviews
Review
"A fireball of terse information—one of our best muckrakers." - Oliver Stone
"Coruscating, eye-opening and essential. This is a must-read for anyone rightfully concerned at the destructive influence of the world's only superpower." - Cynthia McKinney, Presidential Candidate for the Green Party of the United States
"William Blum's America's Deadliest Export is another in his blockbuster series that has applied the reality and morality principles to work on U.S. foreign policy. This book has vignettes and longish essays on matters running from Conspiracies, Ideology and the Media to Cuba, Iran and Wikileaks. It is brimming with wit and with both laughable and frightening quotations. It is admittedly written for 'the choir,' but even the choir needs encouragement as well as facts and analyses that will keep its members from succumbing to a potent propaganda system. And we may hope that choir will grow with books like this that both amuse and enlighten." - Edward S. Herman, co-author of The Politics of Genocide
"This book deals with unpleasant subjects yet it is a pleasure to read. Blum continues to provide us with convincing critiques of U.S. global policy in a freshly informed and engaging way." - Michael Parenti, author of The Face of Imperialism
"With good cheer and humor Blum guides us toward understanding that our government does not 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
About the Author
William Blum is one of the United States' leading non-mainstream experts on American foreign policy. He left the State Department in 1967, abandoning his aspiration of becoming a Foreign Service Officer because of his opposition to what the US was doing in Vietnam. He then became a founder and editor of the Washington Free Press, the first "alternative" newspaper in the capital. Blum has been a freelance journalist in the US, Europe, and South America. His stay in Chile in 1972-3, writing about the Allende government's "socialist experiment," and then its tragic overthrow in a CIA-designed coup, instilled in him a personal involvement and an even more heightened interest in what his government was doing in various corners of the world. He is the author of Killing Hope: US Military and CIA Interventions Since World War II, and the controversial bestseller Rogue State: A Guide to the World's Only Superpower. He currently sends out a monthly Internet newsletter, the Anti-Empire Report.

describes the ruthless foreign policy of the United States of America. I was told 30 years ago about this bit ignored it like most Americans. It is easy to be patriotic when we are told we are an exceptional nation.
Not being satisfied with only this book, I have continued my readings to include books about the Dulles Brothers, the CIA, NSA and the Pentagon. Combine this with several books about the Kennedy Assassination and I feel ashamed of my countries' heritage. Not only is our foreign policy criminal but so is the national media for its biased coverage.
As I look at the news of the day, I am siding with Crimea and its desire to secede from Ukraine.
If only the South had been successful with its secession against Lincoln and the North, we might be witnessing a far different history. Sadly, I also wonder what involvement the CIA will turn out to have in the missing Malaysian flight. My eyes are open. Are yours?

Da un buen repaso al imperialismo depredador de los EEUU en las últimas décadas, y pone de manifiesto la hipocresía de estos y de sus "socios" (osea, vasallos) de la OTAN, así como el servilismo de otras instituciones a los intereses imperiales, como la ONU y los tribunales que investigan crímenes de guerra, que siempre investigan los supuestamente cometidos por la otra parte olvidándose de los descarados cometidos por "los buenos".
Imperdible. Yo no conocía a este autor pero me parece que voy a leerme toda su obra.
