Product Description
by Henry F. Zacchini (Author)
In this unflinching look at American Imperialism, Henry F. Zacchini takes the reader on a journey of self-discovery. It is a journey that allows us to look beyond the platitudes Americans are spoon-fed about freedom and democracy into the heart of imperialism. Zacchini persuasively argues that empires operate as destructive political entities which have antipathy for freedom and democracy, and that this antagonism has widespread negative consequences for citizens, the nation and the world. MYTH, IMMORALITY AND AMERICAN IMPERIALISM is essential reading for people interested in the U.S. Constitution, American militarism, the true role of the mainstream press, the nature of oligarchy, neo-colonialism and the power of myth and propaganda in shaping our worldview. Inspired by the compassionate teachings of Americans like Noam Chomsky, Henry David Thoreau, Martin Luther King, Scott Nearing and Emma Goldman, the book also offers refreshing antidotes to the dehumanizing characteristics of imperialism.
