“Daniele Ganser has long been one of the few Western academics courageous enough to chronicle the deep politics of US imperialism. With great alacrity and erudition, USA: The Ruthless Empire presents a riveting critique of world history's most powerful and dangerous empire—a must-read for anyone concerned about world peace and the continued existence of human civilization.”—Aaron Good, PhD, author of American Exception: Empire and the Deep State

“This book comes at a critical time when we as Americans are being groomed to fear the Russian ‘empire’ and the Chinese ‘empire,’ and to prepare for war with either or both of these countries. However, after reading this crucial history, you will see that this has all been a matter of psychological projection—that the real empire, and a quite vicious one at that, is the United States. As Ganser so eloquently explains, our own nation is the one that needs to be tamed before it is too late, and we are the only ones who can do it.”—Dan Kovalik, labor and human rights lawyer, and author of No More War: How the West Violates International Law by Using 'Humanitarian' Intervention to Advance Economic and Strategic Interests

“In his new book USA: The Ruthless Empire, Daniele Ganser examines the West's self-portrayal as the ‘Free West,’ an enlightened and well-meaning defender of freedom, human rights and democracy around the world. Ganser provides solid facts to critically question the worldview that the leading media imposes on us daily.”—Hannes Sies, scharf links
