'Distinguished scholar Carl Boggs's brilliant historical survey of
US empire-building highlights the centrality of violence,
lawlessness, and self-serving 'humanitarian' ideology, from
colonial times to the current wars in Asia'
*James Petras, Bartle Professor Emeritus, Binghamton
University*
'Relentless, unflinching, and irrefutable. This book performs a
genuine service for truth and democracy, an education for every
American'
*Michael Parenti, author of Against Empire and To Kill a
Nation*
'Americans think others commit war crimes. Every American who
believes in their country's greatness should read Crimes of Empire.
By refusing to let war crimes pass unnoticed, Carl Boggs has done
humankind a tremendous service'
*George Katsiaficas*
