Imperial nations advance their own interests by exploiting other
societies. To those on the receiving end this is obvious, while
inside the empire, a powerful ideological system of justification
tends to hide all but the worst excess.
Carl Boggs argues that that the USA began life two centuries ago
as a nascent colonialist regime plundering and conquering the
Native Tribes. The Indian wars were followed by perpetual
militarism and warfare fuelled by a deep sense of national
exceptionalism. "The Crimes Of Empire" examines several trends in
this process, and illustrates the new depths plumbed since
9/11.
Violation of international agreements, treaties and laws and the
use of prohibited weapons, support for death squads and torture are
just some of the practices that Boggs highlights as he shows how
technical superiority and media control prolong the American
nightmare.
