Description: Is the United States a force for democracy? In this classic volume, William Blum serves up a forensic overview of U.S. foreign policy spanning sixty years. For those who want the details on our most famous actions (Chile, Cuba, Vietnam, to name a few), and for those who want to learn about our lesser-known efforts (France, China, Bolivia, Brazil, for example), this book provides a window on what our foreign policy goals really are.--From publisher description.

"Updated from the 1995 edition, which was in turn a revised and expanded version of 'The CIA, a forgotten history,' published in 1986 by Zed Books, London"--T.p. verso.
