Recenzii
'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
'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.
'Bravo! A vivid, well-aimed critique of the evils of US global interventionism, a superb antidote to officialdom's lies and propaganda.
'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".
'This is an indispensable guide to the domestic and foreign policies of the US state.
'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.
Rogue State is a book of charges to be tied to a paving stone and thrown at the men in Washington
This is not a book for anyone who wishes to maintain any cosy illusions about their own liberty - let alone the liberty of anyone in any country to whose domestic policy the United States government takes exception ... We find in these pages, meticulously detailed and annotated, all the instances of assassination, covert and overt destabilisation, election-rigging, sponsorship of terrorism, secret surveillance, brainwashing and provocation that the US has employed to further its burgeoning corporate empire (otherwise known as the "new world order") ... After reading Rogue State, it is impossible to hang fast to the comforting illusion that the "American way" is some kind of enlightenment
