Description

Analyzes America’s long involvement in the training of foreign military & police org. in techniques of torture, assassination, & ethnic cleansing. The U.S. military itself committed these types of war crimes in the Phoenix Program in Vietnam, where we killed a minimum of 20,000 people, & in Central America during the Reagan admin. The U.S. has regularly supported state terrorists (& dictators) who serve U.S. economic & political interests. Using the truth commission reports that have followed the ouster of terror regimes in El Salvador, Guatemala, Chile, Argentina & South Africa, along with a varied array of sources for Indonesia, Israel, Iraq, & Nicaragua, he makes his case for U.S. support for these regimes. “A valuable addition to the literature on terrorism.”
