Daniele Ganser, born in Lugano in 1972, is a historian
who specializes in contemporary history since 1945 and
international politics. His main research focuses on peace studies,
geostrategy, covert warfare, resource conflicts, and economic
policy. He is the founder and director of the Swiss Institute for
Peace and Energy Research in Basel, and is the author of Illegal
Wars: From Cuba to Syria-How NATO Countries Sabotaged the UN.
“Daniele Ganser has long been one of the few Western academics
courageous enough to chronicle the deep politics of US imperialism.
With great alacrity and erudition, USA: The Ruthless Empire
presents a riveting critique of world history's most powerful and
dangerous empire—a must-read for anyone concerned about world peace
and the continued existence of human civilization.”
—Aaron Good, PhD, author of American Exception: Empire and the Deep
State
“This book comes at a critical time when we as Americans are being
groomed to fear the Russian ‘empire’ and the Chinese ‘empire,’ and
to prepare for war with either or both of these countries. However,
after reading this crucial history, you will see that this has all
been a matter of psychological projection—that the real empire, and
a quite vicious one at that, is the United States. As Ganser so
eloquently explains, our own nation is the one that needs to be
tamed before it is too late, and we are the only ones who can do
it.”
—Dan Kovalik, labor and human rights lawyer, and author of No More
War: How the West Violates International Law by Using
'Humanitarian' Intervention to Advance Economic and Strategic
Interests
“In his new book USA: The Ruthless Empire, Daniele Ganser examines
the West's self-portrayal as the ‘Free West,’ an enlightened and
well-meaning defender of freedom, human rights and democracy around
the world. Ganser provides solid facts to critically question the
worldview that the leading media imposes on us daily.”
—Hannes Sies, scharf links
“When it comes to exposing imperial politics, Swiss historian Dr.
Daniele Ganser is one of the masters of his profession. Anyone who
has read his latest book, USA: The Ruthless Empire, must live with
the realization that we are not the good guys and that our press is
anything but statist.”
—Ken Jebsen, KenFM
“When reading USA: The Ruthless Empire, one is literally struck by
facts that seem unbelievable. Yet, or perhaps because of that, it
reads like a thriller.”
—Martin Baraki, International
“Books like this one are more important than ever. . . . Without
the realization of what has actually happened, and of what
continues to happen, without seeing through the phrases of lies and
constant media manipulation, no meaningful contribution can be made
toward a more peaceful world, which is precisely what lies at the
heart of peace researcher Daniele Ganser.”
—Gerald Brei, Der Europäer
“With this book, Daniele Ganser has succeeded in conveying
historical background knowledge in a compact form, making it easy
to read, especially for young people. This is absolutely necessary
in view of increasing skepticism toward US policy with
uninterrupted transatlantic propaganda in the media.”
—Karl-Heinz Peil, FriedensJournal
“In his interesting book, Ganser describes in detail the role of
the US war machine in enforcing the empire's claims to power.”
—Tilo Gräser, Sputnik
“Dr. Phil. Daniele Ganser, Swiss historian and peace activist, is
one of the outstanding contemporary thinkers who fight against
"general memory loss" by profoundly reappraising historical events
and making their findings available to the people in a clear and
understandable language.”
—Afsane Bahar, Neue Rheinische Zeitung
“The great thing about Daniele Ganser's books is that they provide
solid facts that can be verified at any time, encouraging the
reader to draw their own conclusions ... In his journey through
U.S. history, marked by numerous crimes against humanity,
genocides, wars of aggression, and other abysses, the author always
appeals to the principle of the human family that unites us
all.”
—Richard-Heinrich Tarenz, Wild Magazin
“Daniele Ganser's USA: The Ruthless Empire is interesting and worth
reading - because the author does not practice one-dimensional
criticism of the USA. He consistently appeals to principles and
ideals: UN ban on the use of force, mindfulness and what he calls
the human family.”
—Erich Gysling, Infosperber
“Every war begins with a lie, as Ganser’s many examples
comprehensively demonstrate. But he also emphasizes that there have
always been people guided by ethical values and that in the current
peace movement, it is important to maintain these values ... In my
opinion, this book belongs in every school, university and city
library.”
—Christiane Borowy on KenFM
“A book absolutely worth reading. It opens eyes, creates
consternation and shows the only viable way: The path to the future
must be a peaceful one!”
—Angelika Gutsche in Freitag
