By far this book is the best source of information on the various acts of U.S. imperialism throughout the past 60 years.
Before I read this book I hated U.S. Imperialism, after I read it I just hated it even more; & with a passion.
William Blum writes accurately, & always states the sources of his information via footnotes.
Mr. Blum is not a Marxist, but a man who believes in Soveriegnty for nations.
I highly recommend this book, especially for research purposes.
