Killing Hope: US Military and CIA Interventions Since World War II. (Common Courage)

FROM SUPPORTING DEATH squads in Brazil to landing in Haiti in 1950 and again in 1994; from supporting Mobutu in Zaire to destabilizing Nicaragua; from orchestrating the final solution in Guatemala to a PR campaign in Somalia, author William Blum details over fifty interventions in the most extensive compilation of US imperialism to date. In what Noam Chomsky has called "far and away the best book on the topic," Blum has greatly revised his CIA: A Forgotten History to include updated chapters on US interventions in the nineties.
