The true reasons for many dramatic events in world history: the removal of governments of other states and the establishment of puppet regimes, total surveillance, dossiers of millions, wiretapping of telephone conversations and opening of private mail, spending huge budget funds on weapons, powerful and independent secret police directing political life in the country... This book contains the terrible truth about the USA, told not by an old-school Soviet agitator and not by an anti-Americanist from among the victims of political repression, but by an American political science professor and patriot - Michael Parenti.
