Killing Hope, William Blum, author of the bestselling
Rogue State: A Guide to the World's Only Superpower, provides a devastating and comprehensive account of America's covert and overt military actions in the world, all the way from China in the 1940s to the invasion of Iraq in 2003 and - in this updated edition - beyond. Is the United States, as it likes to claim, a global force for democracy?
Killing Hope shows the answer to this question to be a resounding 'no'.
