9781551640969: Killing Hope: U.S. Military and CIA Interventions Since World War II

Synopsis

A look at the effects, often devastating, that the U.S. military’s and the CIA’s little adventures around the globe have had on the political stability and peoples of the countries they meddled in. In not one case documented has the result been greater freedom or newfound peace. Among the CIA’s own files and those of other intelligence agencies around the world, Blum has found:

hard evidence that a CIA unit was set up to train Uruguayan police in the finer points of torture;
how operatives conducted a campaign to unseat an Australian Prime Minister who was opposed to the Vietnam war;
how in Zaire, Mobutu was installed and supported;
how U.S. training and target identification programs helped set up and run the death squads of El Salvador.
