"This incisive critical analysis of Western imperial history, and the 'immoral morality' contrived to justify its exploits, captures essential features of the great hegemonic powers from Rome to modern America, with many surprising revelations and insights, conveying lessons that we overlook at our peril. Once I began reading, I found this book hard to put down."-Noam Chomsky
"This is an up-to-the-present history of the kind of intentions that pave the road to hell: the road we are on. Leaders have long mobilized support for war and empire by rhetorical appeals to morality, idealism and God. This book traces the lineage of such moralism-from Rome to the British Empire to America's own history-and offers a clear-eyed, disturbing view of how American leaders today use such "immoral morality" to pursue policies with devastating effects for the U.S and the world."
-Daniel Ellsberg, author of Secrets: A Memoir of Vietnam and the Pentagon Papers
"A trenchant and timely book on how power is wielded and moralized in America."
-G. William Domhoff, author of Who Rules America?
"In clear and passionate prose, Derber and Magrass argues that immoral morality-the way leaders use moral values and their faith in God to justify empire, war, and exploitation-has reached a new peak in the United States. Whether Democrats or Republicans control the White House, Derber and Magrass's book offers an indispensable guide to unpicking the pious claims that mask policies of profit for the few and global domination over the many."
-Jonathan Steele, The Guardian and author of Defeat: Why America and Britain lost Iraq
"Charles Derber is one of our most astute and eloquent social critics. ... His political analysis is persuasive and is enlivened by graceful prose."
-Howard Zinn

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
