    Deserves Rapid and Wide Dissemination
  

*by M***A on Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2011*

I will be brief. At this point, there are five other five-star reviews with which I entirely agree. I only wish to add that this is a book that, for its concision and accuracy regarding matters of vital importance to citizens of the world, deserves to be translated into as many languages, and to be disseminated and read, by as many as possible as soon as possible. The American empire has become a juggernaut of planetary coercion and brutality.  If it is ever to be contained, people must be able first and foremost to see and think their way through the torrents, the walls, of American propaganda and mythology, and this book cuts away the mortar of those walls.  Buy several copies and give them as gifts.

    We are all affected by Imperialism. This book will help you understand how.
  

*by R***S on Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2011*

This book is another wonderful exercise in rational thinking by Michael Parenti. The Imperialism he writes about is NOT the old fashioned type, where a country is conquered and plundered, then becomes a satellite of the conquering nation.  This is the Imperialism that governments practice by supporting immoral regimes that favor the business interests of their country, be it oil. bananas, or automobiles. Our country's business interests become more important than our ideals.  America (and other countries) have supported dictatorships and murderous regimes that are friendly to businesses and investors.  Many of us have been distraught by our governments past immoral choices. (Pinochet, anybody?)Mr. Parenti does extensive research and writes clearly and incisively.  You may occasionally disagree with him, but his writing will open your mind to seeing the issues in a fresh way. We all need to question our long held beliefs, and Mr. Parenti is excellent at making us delve into and question them.This book is a fast and insightful read for all of you who are interested in the political and the moral ramifications of our government's interaction with countries of our world.

    Straight talk
  

*by J***3 on Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2012*

Parenti presents the radical critique of capitalism and American foreign policy in accessible prose. The outlines of the left's arguments are presented with sufficient supporting evidence to suggest the validity of the case. Moreover, Parenti offers some real insight. In particular, I found useful his comment that the stakes in regard to globalization are not national sovereignty but democratic sovereignty. His formulation clears away a lot of obfuscating debate over the viability of the nation-state in the face of globalization. It turns out not to matter that much, in light of the wider concerns with the brutal conditions needed to sustain capital accumulation in today's world.
