Synopsis

"Bravo! A vivid, well-aimed critique of the evils of US global interventionism, a superb antidote to officialdom's lies and propaganda."--Michael Parenti

""Rogue State" forcibly reminds us of Vice President Agnew's immortal line, 'The United States, for all its faults, is still the greatest nation in the country.'"--Gore Vidal

"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 encyclopedia 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

William Blum's latest book is "Freeing the World To Death: Essays on the American Empire."

About this title

Review:

'After reading Rogue State, it is impossible to hang fast to the comforting illusion that the ‘American Way‘ is some kind of enlightenment‘ - Will Self in The New Statesman ‘Rogue State is a book of charges to be tied to a paving stone and thrown at the men in Washington’ - The Independent on Sunday ‘William Blum, once of the US State Department, gives a chilling reminder that while there may be no justification for 11 September, there may be reasons’ - Mavis Cheek in The Observer, Books of the Year 2001 '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 '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. 'Rogue State forcibly reminds us of Vice President Agnew‘s immortal line: "The United States, for all its faults, is still the greatest nation in the country".' - Gore Vidal, author of The Decline and Fall of the American Empire '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 'This is an indispensable guide to the domestic and foreign policies of the US state.' - Will Podmore, Morning Star
