By Kamil, Dhahran, 10, Saudi Arabia

"An amazing history of America's involvement in Southeast Asia with all its associated consequences from social, culutral, political, military, economical, financial and human rights aspects.

Again, it is another piece of outstanding written material that tragically paints a trajectory for the Empire of the age that is most unfortunate due to the loss of the Dream of the Founding fathers of America. Once again the power of the military-industrial complex( warned against by many including President Eisenhower) is highlighted as having taking over the government of the USA and its foreign policies."

"This is THE definitive work on American foreign policy. The book explains how the CIA and its annexes take action without thinking of the consequences. For example, it was the CIA who established the Sha in the Iranian government in the 1950s, and now America is paying the price for it. This is part one in a three-part series, and is a necessary book for anyone who is interested in the tragedy that is American foreign policy."

By Bob, The United States

"this was among the books that Rep. Ron Paul told Rudy Giuliani to read after Giuliani tried to accuse Paul of blaming Americans for September 11th. it's a fascinating read, covering details that you'll really never hear from US news organizations. our presence in the world is seen -- rightly, in my classical conservatism view -- more and more as the bully on the playground, not the savior of freedom. our founding fathers in the US warned of standing armies, entangling alliances, and putting our noses where they don't belong. this book is a must-read for those who would seek a more honest, trade-based (not debt- or military-based) American presence in the world."

"This book is pretty damned prescient. It's all about the bad and mostly unintended consequences that have arisen due to American military interference around the world in the past thirty years. Think of it as a rational, national-interest-based argument against American expansionism and empire. It'll also teach you a few things about Korea and our other activities in Asia over the last fifty years, and about the mostly unintentional, but still very important effects that the behavior of our forces stationed all over the world, and the message that the very presence of these forces sends, tend to have on world public opinion of us as a nation."
