Summary
The rise of international jihad and Western ultra-nationalism
In The Management of Savagery, Max Blumenthal excavates the real story behind America's dealings with the world and shows how the extremist forces that now threaten peace across the globe are the inevitable flowering of America's imperial designs.
Washington's secret funding of the mujahedin provoked the Russian invasion of Afghanistan in 1979. With guns and money, the United States has ever since sustained the extremists, including Osama Bin Laden, who have become its enemies. The Pentagon has trained and armed jihadist elements in Afghanistan, Syria, and Libya; it has launched military interventions to change regimes in the Middle East. In doing so, it created fertile ground for the Islamic State and brought foreign conflicts home to American soil.
These failed wars abroad have made the United States more vulnerable to both terrorism as well as native ultra-nationalism. The Trump presidency is the inevitable consequence of neoconservative imperialism in the post-Cold War age. Trump's dealings in the Middle East are likely only to exacerbate the situation.

The depth and insight of the analysis provided.
The book was able to masterfully paint a comprehensive picture of how time and time again, Western leaders have supported and armed the most extreme factions who then eventually turn on them. Next time you’re asked to condemn a foreign terrorist group, this book helps you ask the question “Who armed and enabled such a group?”. Based on the content of the book it’s almost always your government.

Connects the Dots
Progressively builds a clear picture of the state of affairs regarding the War on Terror. Makes far more sense the MSM narrative sound bites and misinformation.

Brilliant
This was a fantastic book which merges history with contemporary international politics. Highly recommended. I’d put the author up there with the likes of Fisk and Pilger

must read to understand the mess in Middle East
Glad we have journalists like Max Blumenthal who stand up against lies and propaganda. Max is not afraid exposing complicity of the media with propaganda of the US government. it is an illuminating book!

Eye opening
The USA trying to appear imperial but without insight into other cultures. A continuously failing project at enormous expense.

Dry Facts
My goodness a well researched book but presented in a very fact after fact dry way, not much to keep the reader engaged...

DISGUSTING.
Just why I DETEST THE WARMONGERING, greedy, psychopathic 'governments' of ALL WESTERN COUNTRIES AND THEIR NEVER-ENDING, PLUNDERING, MURDEROUS
& traitorous wars. I WISH they would all be dragged before a really effective COURT OF LAW and punished for all the innocent lives they have taken over 100's of years.
SHAME ON ALL: THE PERPETRATORS; THE MILITARY; THE PLANNERS; THE CLUELESS SO-CALLED LEADERS. MAY THEY ALL ROT IN HELL FOR WHAT THEY HAVE MADE THIS WORLD INTO: HELL ON EARTH. PLUS ALL THE POPULATIONS WHOSE APATHY, IGNORANCE AND ' WANT TO LEAD MY OWN LIFE' HAS FACILITATED THIS.
GOOD RIDDANCE TO YOU ALL.
