The book examines Washington’s alleged love/hate relationship with terrorists and human-rights violators, including assassinations, torture, and training material excerpts. It addresses claims about war crimes, havens for terrorists, and support for figures such as Pol Pot, then details U.S. use of weapons of mass destruction and chemical/biological arms. The text continues with a history of interventions, elections interference, UN actions, surveillance, and covert operations.","Rogue State  \nA Guide to the World's Only Superpower  \nWilliam Blum  \nZed Books-London Spearhead-South Africa  \nRogue State: A Guide to the World's Only Superpower was first published in the United Kingdom by Zed Books Ltd, 7 Cynthia Street, London Nl 9JF, UK.  \nFirst published in the United States by Common Courage Press, Box 702, Monroe, ME 04951 in 2000.  \nNew updated edition, 2002  \nThis edition published in South Africa by Spearhead, a division of New Africa Books, PO Box 23408, Claremont 7735.  \nCopyright © William Blum, 2001, 2002  \nCover design by Andrew Corbett, Cambridge  \nPrinted and bound in the United Kingdom by Cox and Wyman, Reading  \nThe right of the author of this book has been asserted by him in accordance with the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.  \nA catalogue record for this book is available from the British Library.  \nISBN 1 84277 220 1 hb  \nISBN 184277 221 X pb  \nIn South Africa  \nISBN 0 86486 543 0 Pb  \n\"Critics will call this a one-sided book. But it is an invaluable correc-tive to the establishment portrait of America as 'the world's greatest force for peace.' Even confirmed opponents of U.S. interventionism can find much in this important book that will both educate and shock them.\"  \n—Peter Dale Scott, former professor at U.C. Berkeley, poet, and author of Deep Politics and The Death of JFK  \n\"Whatever we think we know about U.S. foreign policy, Rogue State makes it clear that we don't know nearly enough. This book's grisly content may seem to require a strong stomach, but reading its words is nothing compared to what has been done—and keeps being done—with our tax dollars and in our names. Whether we read Rogue State as a historical narrative or use it as a reference book, William Blum has put together a horrifying and infuriating piece of work. The footnoted information between these covers is enough to make any awake reader want to scream with rage. This is a truly subversive book because it demolishes the foundations of basic illusions about the United States of America as a world power.\"  \n—Norman Solomon, author of The Habits of Highly Deceptive Media and winner of the George Orwell Award  \nNever before in modem history has a country dominated the earth so totally as the United States does today...America is now the Schwarzenegger of international politics:  \nshowing off muscles, obtrusive, intimidating...The Americans, in the absence of limits put to them by anybody or anything, act as if they own a kind of blank check in their\"McWorld.\"  \nDer Spiegel, Germany's leading news magazine, 1997 1  \nThe United States is good.  \nWe try to do our best everywhere.  \nMadeleine Albright, 1999 2  \nA world once divided into two armed camps now recognizes one sole and preeminent power, the United States of America. And they regard this with no dread. For the world trusts us with power, and the world is right. They trust us to be fair, and restrained. They trust us to be on the side of decency. They trust us to do what's right.  \nGeorge Bush, 1992 3  \nHow can they have the arrogance to dictate to us where we should go or which countries should be our friends? Gadhafi is my friend. He supported us when we were alone and when those who tried to prevent my visit here today were our enemies. They have no morals. We cannot accept that a state assumes the role of the world's policeman.  \nNelson Mandela, 1997 4  \nWhen I came into office, I was determined that our country would go into the 21st century still the world's greatest farce for peace and freedom, for democracy and security and prosperity.  \nBill Clinton, 1996 5  \nThroughout the world, on any given day, a man, woman or child is likely to be displaced, tortured, kitted or \"disappeared\", at the hands of governments or armed political groups.
