Reviews

Excellent and timely Noam Chomsky


'Excellent and timely' Noam Chomsky '...provides a useful basic primer on US military, economic, and corporate interventions in the world. His book and his online journal (www.colombiajournal.org) is clearly written and very useful in getting up to speed. He also provides detailed references and footnotes for those who want to pursue matters further...clear and succinct style...In truth the important task Leech takes on, he does well: opens the door to seeing one of the world's most urgent issues in context, and from the point of view of some of those who suffer the most.' Znet, Jan 2007 'In this useful book, journalist and lecturer Garry Leech shows how oil, not concern for promoting democracym drives the U.S. to intervene in countries across the world. He looks at the damaging effects of U.S. interventions in the Middle East, Central Asia, West Africa and Latin America.' - Will Podmore, Morning Star
