内容简介:
A riveting exposé of international corruption-and what we can
do about it, from the author of Confessions of an Economic Hit Man,
which spent over a year on the New York Times bestseller
list.
In his stunning memoir, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, John
Perkins detailed his former role as an "economic hit man" in the
international corporate skullduggery of a de facto American Empire.
This riveting, behind-the-scenes exposé unfolded like a cinematic
blockbuster told through the eyes of a man who once helped shape
that empire. Now, in The Secret History of the American Empire,
Perkins zeroes in on hot spots around the world and, drawing on
interviews with other hit men, jackals, reporters, and activists,
examines the current geopolitical crisis. Instability is the norm:
It's clear that the world we've created is dangerous and no longer
sustainable. How did we get here? Who's responsible? What good have
we done and at what cost? And what can we do to change things for
the next generations? Addressing these questions and more, Perkins
reveals the secret history behind the events that have created the
American Empire, including:
The current Latin-American revolution and its lessons for
democracy
How the "defeats" in Vietnam and Iraq benefited big
business
The role of Israel as "Fortress America" in the Middle East
Tragic repercussions of the IMF's "Asian Economic Collapse"
U.S. blunders in Tibet, Congo, Lebanon, and Venezuela
Jackal (CIA operatives) forays to assassinate democratic
presidents
From the U.S. military in Iraq to infrastructure development in
Indonesia, from Peace Corps volunteers in Africa to jackals in
Venezuela, Perkins exposes a conspiracy of corruption that has
fueled instability and anti-Americanism around the globe. Alarming
yet hopeful, this book provides a compassionate plan to reimagine
our world.
