Overthrow: America's Century of Regime Change from Hawaii to Iraq by Stephen Kinzer
Overthrow: America's Century of Regime Change from Hawaii to Iraq

jpmaher, January 4, 2009

Kinzer's book is a waste of time in one respect: he reveals all about things every informed person already knew about regime change -- from Hawaii to Iraq. By omission, however, Kinzer's OVERTHROW is a COVER-UP of America's imperial war in the Balkans. Kinzer covered the 1990s war there, but he never mentions Yugoslavia in OVERTHROW. Didn't a mendacious State Department through a compliant press, as per Kinzer's correct scenario, create bogey-men there? That war sold a lot of newspapers for the NY Times in unison with the rest of "the free press". Hearst would be envious of Kinzer.
