The Secret History of the American EmpireEconomic Hit Men, Jackals, and the Truth About Corporate Corruption

In this stunning exposé, the author of CONFESSIONS OF AN ECONOMIC HITMAN continues his account of how corporate America, sometimes with the sponsorship of the American government, intentionally sows chaos around the world, and then profits from the destabilization it has cultivated. A former insider in this hardball game of corruption and conspiracy, John Perkins identifies specific hotspots, in Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa, where aggressive actions have, over decades, created what he sees as an oppressive American empire, the cost of which has been great resentment and anti-Americanism, ultimately threatening democracy and our way of life.
