aaron r. reviewed Rogue State by William Blum
"Rogue State" Review
4 stars
A man formerly on the inside, Blum has created an fascinating reference book of sorts on U.S. interventions, misdeeds, lies, and hypocritical justifications for them.
The sections "A Concise History of the United States Global Interventions, 1945 to the Present" and "The US versus the World at the United Nations" could give you hundreds of hours of additional reading and research alone.
I feel like this book could be a gateway drug into learning about U.S. misdeeds on an international and domestic scale.
This book is a bit dated, however. Blum was working with what was available at the time. Though I don't necessarily find that a fault, considering the nature of ever-continuous global events.
Blum would probably have a field day with events of the past twenty years (plus whatever's been declassified since).
