Publisher Description
Against Empire exposes the ruthless agenda and hidden costs of the US empire today. Documenting the pretexts and lies used to justify violent intervention and maldevelopment abroad, Parenti shows how the conversion to a global economy is a victory of finance capital over democracy.
