Publish Date: 2002-10-01
Features: As the world's only superpower today, the United States frequently labels other countries as rogue states or an axis of evil. However, if the same standards the U.S. uses to judge others are applied to itself, a conclusion can be drawn, as German magazine Der Spiegel put it: In modern history, no country has ever dominated the world as completely as the United States today. Today's America is like Schwarzenegger in international politics: showing off muscles, meddling in others' affairs, coercing and intimidating, interfering in other countries' matters at will. This book boldly and clearly criticizes the various evils of U.S. global interventionism, showing how U.S. policies, under the guise of freedom, democracy, and human rights, have led to brutal actions. It also reveals how the so-called "forces for protecting peace" in the world act in a highly aggressive manner. This book is the best antidote to U.S. official lies and propaganda. It is a subversive book that destroys the claims, based on lies, that portray the U.S. as the world's hegemon.
