 Alot of ego here June 24, 2008

Wow, I can't believe the reviews have been so favorable for this writers books. It's as though people just stop thinking for themselves. Let me save you 15 bucks. Down w/ capitilism, people who make money are bad. No mention that, perphaps, it's government interference and manipulation of fiscal programs around the world that cause corperations to act as they do.
 Read this book! June 3, 2008

I just finished reading this book. I've been researching this subject for a few years, but more importantly, have been experiencing the effects in my life of the systems he describes. The changin times are barrelling upon us. As a former world traveller, I can attest to everything he says.
This is a concise wrap up of his experience produced in a highly readable format, and I believe is indicative of a broader picture. I like that at the end of the book he gives some suggestions for solutions and ways to work together to transform the world.
Read this book!
Great Book ... A Must Read May 23, 2008

Excellent follow-up by Mr. Perkins of his astonishing "Confessions of an EHM". First-class condition and splendid service from supplier.
If there is in the world a politician who has not read both of these works, then he or she does not deserve the position.
A MUST READ by every American. Learn the truth about our Empire. May 9, 2008

John Perkins was a Economic Hitman for many years. He was one of the bad guys who quit to expose the problems. It's the answers to all the questions you've had about why the world hates the USA.
Read and empower yourself with the truth.
A good primer April 30, 2008
I just finished this book after having previously read "Confessions of an Economic Hitman". Perkins does a good job of relating his personal experience and opens the door to a world that most people don't know exist.
When I read "Confessions of and Economic Hitman", I went away hungry for more information and details. This made me really look forward to reading this book. "The Secret History of the American Empire" builds on "Confessions" in narrative form. It is footnoted, but does not rely heavily on outside sources to substantiate the author's perspective. This is "Secret History's" drawback. Still, John Perkins never claims in either of this book or "Confessions" that his intention is to extensively back his experience with outside sources. He simply tells his story from his perspective and recommends a path forward.
It tells a shocking story in a very sincere way, but, for greater understanding of the subject matter, I would recommend a book with a more academic approach. Regardless, this book is a great starting point for those seeking to better understand the world.
