The Secret History of the American Empire: Economic Hit Men, Jackals, and the Truth about Corporate Corruption Audiobook

" It is not as good as Mr. Perkins' debut work many chapters in this books are repetitvie, from the confession of an economic hit man. ... in the last few chapters, it merely looks like an expression of personal views "

" If you think you know what has happened in the world and what America's role was, think again. This is a book from one of the economic hit men that did the work that shaped our world today. As an American, it is a must read. "

" I could do without the author's personal narrative of the women he thought he would fall in love with, but I really enjoyed reading about the histories of different countries, even long before U.S. intervention. "

" buku yang memperjelas peran bandit ekonomi.. menggigit dan membuat geram "

" Wk of 11 May: Currently about halfway through, may not finish. Is organized by part of the world and so I have been skipping around. An easy quick read with good information/perspective. "

" Not the best writer, but he offers a new way of thinking (which I don't see in very many books today). "

" Exciting at times, but mostly a thinly veiled left wing ( and even midly ant-semitic) view of the world. I don't recommend this book. "

" Oddly enough reminded me of a hardboiled action novel. This man could have had a very promising writing career. "

" Even if you were to ignore the last third of the book, which addresses what we can do to help bring true democracy to the billions impoverished in the world, the first two thirds of the book are amazing for the stories of assassination, deceit, and empire building. A pretty solid read. "

" Mainly informative... there were no fantastic insights. The abstract style threw me a bit, too. Nonetheless, a radical, ballsy book that I recommend reading. "

" opened my eyes to the horrible things america has done to gain the power it has. "

" Wow, every American should read this book and be ashamed on how their standard of living is built on the misery of the Third World. Now, can anyone direct my to a detailed biography covering the life of George Rich, who apparently was the Kermit Roosevely of the Middle East? "

" Whoa. So far, so good. Kind of scary. "

" The Secret History proved to be both entertaining and an easy read. The content here is cursory but since much of it is based on first-hand knowledge it makes a greater impact than most books on the subject. "

" John Perkins is not a particularly talented writer, but he more than makes up for it with his insightful observations about the real world that exists behind the screen of corporate propaganda, and his wise advice about what readers can do about it. "

" Another informative and infuriating book by Perkins. I thought it was better than "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" "

" A great follow up to Confessions of An Economic Hitman. This book takes the topic of Economic Imperialism and goes deeper. One thing I really enjoyed about this book was that it provides some answers to the question "What can I do about this?" "

" not quite as good as the original but still worth a read "

" I thought Perkins described the areas of the world i had been to very well. He is a bit biased, but an intersting perspective "

" Another breathtaking reading.. Insight information from a former Economic Hit-Man.. it started in Indonesia.. "

" Even if you were to ignore the last third of the book, which addresses what we can do to help bring true democracy to the billions impoverished in the world, the first two thirds of the book are amazing for the stories of assassination, deceit, and empire building. A pretty solid read. "

" Oddly enough reminded me of a hardboiled action novel. This man could have had a very promising writing career. "

" John Perkins gives you detailed info about covert CIA and NGO operations to destabalize and deflate foreign nations currency, and overtake their monetary system through excessive loans and unpayable debts. "

" A must read for all Americans. I have read other books that support his experiences. WARNING: This book will permanently change your perception of the new and world events. "

" at times, interesting-but mostly not. a 4 out of 10 "

" Perkins tells all, or nearly all, and yet is still around to pick up his royalties. With all these revelatory books on the market, where are the indictments?! "

" I thought Perkins described the areas of the world i had been to very well. He is a bit biased, but an intersting perspective "

" I feel like Morpheus just showed me the real world...A must read book for any who hold to the glory of Rome...er...I mean America. <br/> <br/>I will say that with all the eye-opening shameful material, Perkins did spend the last 20% of the book offering suggestions for hope and change. "

" Not the best writer, but he offers a new way of thinking (which I don't see in very many books today). "
