Provides a history of the Central Intelligence Agency and United States military interventions from 1945 to the present.

Presents a review of America's use of military tactics, CIA intervention, and economic coercion to assist ally nations with known histories of human rights violations and preserve its own political and market interests.

For over sixty-five years, the United States war machine has been on automatic pilot. Since World War II we have been conditioned to believe that America's motives in 'exporting' democracy are honorable, even noble. In this startling and provocative book, William Blum, a leading dissident chronicler of US foreign policy and the author of controversial bestseller Rogue State, argues that nothing could be further from the truth. Moreover, unless this fallacy is unlearned, and until people understand fully the worldwide suffering American policy has caused, we will never be able to stop the monster.
