Rogue State: A Guide to the World's Only Superpower

by William Blum, author of
Killing Hope:US Military and CIA Interventions Since World War 2

If you believed that the NATO (read U.S.) bombing of Yugoslavia for
78 days and nights in 1999 was a "humanitarian" act, Rogue
State hopefully can serve as a wake-up call to both your intellect
and your conscience. It is a mini-encyclopedia of the numerous
un-humanitarian acts perpetrated by the United States since the
end of the Second World War.

Never before in modern history has
a country dominated the earth so
totally as the United States does today.
America is now the Schwarzenegger of
international politics: showing off
muscles, obtrusive, intimidating.
The Americans, in the absence of
limits put to them by anybody or anything,
act as if they own a kind of blank check
in their McWorld.
Der Spiegel, Germany's leading newsmagazine, 1997

.........

A world once divided into two armed camps
now recognizes one sole and pre-eminent
power, the United States of America. And
they regard this with no dread. For the
world trusts us with power, and the world
is right. They trust us to be fair, and
restrained. They trust us to be on the side
of decency. They trust us to do what's right.
George Bush, 1992

"Bill Blum came by his 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, Editor, The Progressive Review, Washington, DC
