I found this to be on par with the author's previous books, (Rogue State and Killing Hope); it was both an excellent and challenging read especially given the subject matter concerned, I found this to be compulsive reading, (I read it in two days) however I was left thinking about the contents for along time afterwards. Both as someone who enjoys reading current affairs and previously studied international politics I have consistently appreciated William Blum's books, I have previously recommended the author's books to friends and will do so with this.

Excellent book by a accredited author. If more people read this book we would have balance on this planet and less international tension.
