　　A riveting exposé of international corruption-and what we can

do about it, from the author of Confessi*** of an Economic Hit Man,

which spent over a year on the New York Times bestseller

list.

In his stunning memoir, Confessi*** of an Economic Hit Man, John

Perkins detailed his former role as an "economic hit man" in the

international corporate skullduggery of a de facto American Empire.

This riveting, behind-the-scenes exposé unfolded like a cinematic

blockbuster told through the eyes of a man who once helped shape

that empire. Now, in The Secret History of the American Empire,

Perkins zeroes in on *** spots around the world and, drawing on

interviews with other hit men, jackals, reporters, and activists,

examines the current geopolitical crisis. Instability is the norm:

It's clear that the world we've created is dangerous and no longer

sustainable. How did we get here? Who's resp***ible? What good have

we done and at what cost? And what can we do to change things for

the next generati***? Addressing these questi*** and more, Perkins

reveals the secret history behind the events that have created the

American Empire, including:

The current Latin-American revolution and its less*** for

democracy

How the "defeats" in Vietnam and Iraq benefited big

business

The role of Israel as "Fortress America" in the Middle East

Tragic repercussi*** of the IMF's "Asian Economic Collapse"

U.S. blunders in Tibet, Congo, Lebanon, and Venezuela

Jackal (CIA operatives) forays to assassinate democratic

presidents

　From the U.S. military in Iraq to infrastructure development in

Indonesia, from Peace Corps volunteers in Africa to jackals in

Venezuela, Perkins exposes a c***piracy of corruption that has

fueled instability and anti-Americanism around the globe. Alarming

yet hopeful, this book provides a compassionate plan to reimagine

ou***orld.
