Resumen del Editor
Now, in The Secret History of the American Empire, Perkins zeroes in on hot spots around the world and, drawing on interviews with other hit men, jackals, reporters, and activists, examines the current geopolitical crisis. Instability is the norm; it's clear that the world we've created is dangerous and no longer sustainable. How did we get here? Who's responsible? What good have we done and at what cost? And what can we do to change things for the next generations? Addressing these questions and more, Perkins reveals the secret history behind the events that have created the American Empire.
From the U.S. military in Iraq to infrastructure development in Indonesia, from Peace Corps volunteers in Africa to jackals in Venezuela, Perkins exposes a conspiracy of corruption that has fueled instability and anti-Americanism around the globe. Alarming yet hopeful, this book provides a compassionate plan for reimagining our world.
Reseñas de la Crítica
"A sweeping, bold assault on the tyranny of corporate globalization, full of drama and adventure, with devastating stories of greed run wild. But Perkins is undaunted, and offers imaginative ideas for a different world." (Howard Zinn, author of A People's History of the United States)
“John Perkins' new book is both an eye-opening expose of global corruption and a fascinating story of adventure and intrigue. This devastating indictment of current economic policies also offers hope by showing the power of the growing movement toward a caring economics worldwide.” (Riane Eisler, author of The Chalice and the Blade and The Real Wealth of Nations)
“Having made a splash with Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, Perkins offers similarly entertaining but disturbing accounts of the American government wreaking havoc around the world in support of American business. In Perkins's view, American presidents willingly comply with their CEO masters, distributing foreign aid to corrupt Third World leaders who keep a share and return the rest to U.S. business for major projects, leaving their nations poor and massively in debt, and requiring more loans and slavish obedience to U.S. policy. If any leader objects, the CIA destabilizes his government, by assassination if necessary.” (Publishers Weekly)

There is an ancient Chinese proverb that states, "Two tigers cannot share the same mountain." However, in East Asia, there are three tigers on that mountain: China, Japan, and Korea, and they have a long history of turmoil and tension with each other. In his latest entertaining and thought-provoking narrative travelogue, Michael Booth sets out to discover how deep, really, the enmity is between these three "tiger" nations and what prevents them from making peace.

Precariously positioned between China and India, Burma's population has suffered dictatorship, natural disaster, and the dark legacies of colonial rule. But when decades of military dictatorship finally ended and internationally beloved Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi emerged from long years of house arrest, hopes soared. As historian, former diplomat, and presidential advisor, Thant Myint-U saw the cracks forming. In this insider's diagnosis of a country at a breaking point, he dissects all of the elements that came together to challenge the incipient democracy.

Historia
Revolt is an eloquent and provocative challenge to the prevailing wisdom about the rise of nationalism and populism. With a vibrant and informed voice, Nadav Eyal illustrates how modern globalization is not sustainable. He contends that the collapse of the current world order is not so much about the imbalance between technological achievement and social progress or the breakdown of liberal democracy as it is about a passion to upend and destroy power structures that have become hollow, corrupt, or simply unresponsive to urgent needs.

Historia
Angela Merkel has always been an outsider. A pastor’s daughter raised in Soviet-controlled East Germany, she spent her twenties working as a research chemist, entering politics only after the fall of the Berlin Wall. And yet within fifteen years, she had become chancellor of Germany and, before long, the unofficial leader of the West. In this “masterpiece of discernment and insight” (The New York Times Book Review), acclaimed biographer Kati Marton sets out to pierce the mystery of Merkel’s unlikely ascent.

Seeking to understand the Muslim world that had been reduced to scaremongering headlines, she moved to Istanbul.

At the end of the 1980s, when the Cold War ended, many, including former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, believed that democracy had triumphed politically once and for all. Yet nearly 30 years later, the direction of history no longer seems certain. A repressive and destructive force has begun to reemerge on the global stage - sweeping across Europe, parts of Asia, and the United States - that to Albright, looks very much like fascism.

In 1965, the US government helped the Indonesian military kill approximately one million innocent civilians. This was one of the most important turning points of the 20th century, eliminating the largest communist party outside China and the Soviet Union and inspiring copycat terror programs in faraway countries like Brazil and Chile. But these events remain widely overlooked, precisely because the CIA's secret interventions were so successful.

The author of three books on CIA operations, Douglas Valentine began his research into the agency's activities when CIA director William Colby gave him free access to interview agency officials who had been involved in various aspects of the Phoenix program in South Vietnam. It was a permission Colby was to regret. The CIA would eventually rescind it and made every effort to impede publication of The Phoenix Program, which documented an elaborate system of population surveillance, control, entrapment, imprisonment, torture, and assassination in Vietnam.

"Regime change" did not begin with the administration of George W. Bush, but has been an integral part of U.S. foreign policy for more than one hundred years. Starting with the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy in 1893 and continuing through the Spanish-American War and the Cold War and into our own time, the United States has not hesitated to overthrow governments that stood in the way of its political and economic goals.

good book, a little preachy
I liked the story very much but it fascinates me that the author can earn tons of money, travel all over the world and live a fantastic life then years later state that what he was doing was wrong after he collects his money and travels the globe.

Eye Opening
I was expecting to listen to a book which gave accounts of America from 1776 to now and some not well known facts. I was mistaken about that, it generally dealt with the cold war era, not exactly in chronological order either. So all that threw me off at first but then I was gripped by it, angered by it, amazed at my ignorance although I've lived in other countries. The things I've learned in this book truly makes me want to make a change in this world.

I don't care about people in Africa, Asia, or SA
Look I know that there are some powerful people who make a lot of money and do so by exploiting Indonesian cheap labor, or by stealing resources from Africans. But at the same time those people who are poor have more children than people in the civilized world and they are generally the ones allowing themselves to be exploited. 150 years ago the Japanese were as poor as the Indonesians. 50 years ago the S. Koreans were poorer than the Filipinos. Tell me those people didn't benefit from American nation building. The North Koreans are still the poorest country on earth. You could go down the list of countries that used to be dirt poor but have created economic opportunity with a lot less resources than the African's, Indonesians, or Incas. So it is not America's fault that those people are still poor it is the fault of those peoples genes. Just wait and see what happens to America in 50 years when Hispanics are a racial majority. Our country will be a third world country exactly like those in South America.

Life-changing
One of the best books I ever listened to, even though it is not about mellifluous prose or any literary devices. It is even better than Confessions of an Economic Hitman. Read this today and get your eyes opened. Once you know what really goes on you can not go back to your illusions.

Laws and Sausages
Just started this reading, but Perkins reminds me of the guy in my Politics 101 class long ago, very upset about United Fruit's storied past in Latin America, but who never mentioned the 15 cent bananas, and 10 cent coffee he gobbled up at the lunch hall each day. In the end, he seemed most interested in recounting his family's vacations in Latin America.
In the same way, Perkins manages to make romance out of the a business that is as unsightly as the making laws and sausages. He made his money and had his interesting life as an "EHM", and retires to becomes a labor economist for a profitable hobby. I guess it's not a moral failing to be a hypocritical if you stand up quaking and confessing to America's opinion class at $19.00 per person, or "1 credit", before making your plea that the American middle class (prices, pensions, taxes) pay for fair trade While the EC and Asian economies play catch up for limited resources.
By the way, since some reviewers are splitting hairs: those working girls (Nancy and Mary) in Indonesia were said to be Taiwanese-American, raised in Japanese "foster care" by a Japanese pimp, not "Filipino," as the reviewer asserts. Having worked in Asia, I found it convincing that they called themselves "Geisha". There aren't many fact checkers around the whirlpools. Good thing for Jack too.
