Rezensionen / Stimmen
'A powerful, compelling book ... It leaves the reader outraged at the hypocrisy and duplicity of British politicians and officials' -- Race and Class 'Demonstrates how Britain remains the key supporting player in US domination, and how far from benign that domination is in its impact on the rest of the world' -- Victoria Brittain 'Essential reading for anyone wanting to understand Britain and the United States' true role in the world and the so-called order imposed by the Anglo-American alliance' -- John Pilger 'His findings are damning' -- London Review of Books
