The Secret History of the American Empire: The Truth About Economic Hit Men, Jackals, and How to Change the World

Guest Reviewer: Michael Lai

Author: John Perkins
Price: Below RM40 (Paperback)
Relevance: 10/10
Credibility: 8/10
Riveting: 7/10
Readability: 8/10

Synopsis: In this sequel to Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, this book examines the current geopolitical crisis and reveals the secret history behind events like the present Latin American revolution, wars that are benefiting big business and other webs of corruption and corporate skullduggery.

Verdict: The hits just keep on coming from Perkins, the repentant economic hitman-turned-social activist and author. This book will rip the shroud from your eyes. A veil that has prevented you from reading between the lines of your news consumption all this while.
