This book sheds light on whats really happening jn the US’ dealings with other countries. A little lefty but if you can get past that its a very important book. It seems to me, however, the author doesn’t focus enough on the root of the problem. Instead he focuses primarily in symptoms. Maybe for good reasons...?
