Synopsis
In ROGUE STATE, leftist journalist William Blum presents a highly critical view America's conduct in the world (whence he gets his title), and he supports his thesis with evidence that viewers will probably not see on their evening news broadcasts or Sunday morning talk shows. Blum charges that, while supposedly fighting terror, the U.S. has a record of supporting oppressive regimes that engage in state terror; that the U.S. operates worldwide to destabilize its enemies and bully its friends; and that it possesses and has used weapons of mass destruction. Blum backs up his charges with a prodigious amount of information from several decades, sparing neither Democratic nor Republican leaders.

Blum's bill of misdemeanors and crimes will be critiqued for its facts, its selective use of facts, or its lack of context; others will critique his tone and rhetoric. Still others will say he connects the dots and builds a strong case, presenting a portrait of the U.S. that is extremely discomfiting. Readers will want to decide for themselves how they feel about this controversial work, which made news in 2006 when Osama bin Laden cited it in one of his tapes.

Publisher's Note
Ever meet a hit man? If not, then consider living in his political equivalent: The United States. In ROGUE STATE: A GUIDE TO THE WORLD'S ONLY SUPERPOWER, find out how the U.S. sentences blasphemers to death--that is, people and governments blaspheming the "holy objectives of American foreign policy." William Blum supplies us with the facts about:
Why terrorists keep picking on the United States; The numerous foreign leaders whose assassinations were plotted by the U.S.; How the U.S. supported Pol Pot but helped incarcerate Nelson Mandela; The U.S. government's extensive connection to torture; How the U.S. has been a haven for foreign terrorists and human rights violators; The War Crimes Tribunal that will never be: How the U.S. squelched the charges of war crimes against its own and NATO's leaders in 1999; How the U.S. has perverted dozens of foreign elections; and much, much more.
With information such as this available in the public realm, Blum asks, how does the United States get away with it?
A major reason, he concludes, is the world's long-running love affair with the mystique of "America", the world's adoration of what it believes to be the relentless devotion to the cause of freedom and human rights that is America. This adoration has not been of immaculate conception but stems, rather, from the United States as the inventor and perfecter of modern advertising and public relations. The United States is the world's only information superpower -- and, according to Samuel Huntington in the journal Foreign Affairs, the United States is a "rogue superpower," at that.
Blum also theorizes about why this cruelty is so inherent in U.S. foreign policy. He relates it to the "Peter Principle": "...in a foreign policy establishment committed to imperialist domination by any means necessary, employees tend to rise to the level of cruelty they can live with."
In ROGUE STATE, learn about decades of ubiquitous U.S. cruelty, kept-- remarkably--from penetrating world consciousness or shocking world conscience. Though President Clinton calls America "the world's greatest force for peace", William Blum shows that our Rogue State is really a marauding Western brute.
