Is the United States a force for democracy? In this classic and unique volume that answers this question, William Blum serves up a forensic overview of U.S. foreign policy spanning sixty years. For those who want the details on the most famous U.S. actions (Chile, Cuba, Vietnam, to name a few), and for those who want to learn about lesser-known U.S. efforts (France, China, Bolivia, Brazil, for example), this book provides a window on what U.S. foreign policy goals really are.
