| Summary: | This book strives to set the record straight, to educate, to enlighten and to enliven the people against the corruptions of empire, corruptions that stretch from Columbus's first steps on Hispaniola through yesterday's murderous drone attack. The prevailing myth is that America's prized possessions and greatest exports are democracy and the dream of freedom. The naked truth, say Abu-Jamal and Vittoria, is that the American dream is illusory and America's greatest export is in fact murder, and that along the way to the kill, it thieves, suppresses and tyrannizes. More than a history book, this is a lively, irreverent and spirited alternative to the orthodoxy of American exceptionalism. |
