"Bravo! A vivid, well-aimed critique of the evils of US global interventionism, a superb antidote to officialdom's lies and propaganda."--Michael Parenti

"Rogue State forcibly reminds us of Vice President Agnew's immortal line, 'The United States, for all its faults, is still the greatest nation in the country.'"--Gore Vidal

"Bill Blum came by his book title easily: He simply tested America by the same standards we use to judge other countries. The result is a bill of wrongs--an especially well-documented encyclopedia of malfeasance, mendacity and mayhem that has been hypocritically carried out in the name of democracy by those whose only true love was power."--Sam Smith

William Blum's latest book is Freeing the World To Death: Essays on the American Empire.

نبذة عن المؤلف (2005)

William Henry Blum was born in Brooklyn, New York on March 6, 1933. He received a bachelor's degree in accounting from Baruch College of the City University of New York. He was hired as a programmer by I.B.M. and then by the State Department. After becoming disillusioned over the Vietnam War, he helped inaugurate a biweekly underground newspaper called The Washington Free Press and joined in antiwar protests. In 1967, he was pressured to quit his government job. He wrote numerous articles, columns, and books raging against United States foreign policy. His books included The CIA: A Forgotten History, Rogue State: A Guide to the World's Only Superpower, and Freeing the World to Death: Essays on the American Empire. He died of kidney failure on December 9, 2018 at the age of 85.
