Story
In Goliath, New York Times best-selling author Max Blumenthal takes us on a journey through the badlands and high roads of Israel-Palestine, painting a startling portrait of Israeli society under the siege of increasingly authoritarian politics as the occupation of the Palestinians deepens. Beginning with the national elections carried out during Israel's war on Gaza in 2008/9, which brought into power the country's most right-wing government to date, Blumenthal tells the story of Israel in the wake of the collapse of the Oslo peace process.

Story
In 1965, the US government helped the Indonesian military kill approximately one million innocent civilians. This was one of the most important turning points of the 20th century, eliminating the largest communist party outside China and the Soviet Union and inspiring copycat terror programs in faraway countries like Brazil and Chile. But these events remain widely overlooked, precisely because the CIA's secret interventions were so successful.

Parenti shows how "rational fascism" renders service to capitalism, how corporate power undermines democracy, and how revolutions are a mass empowerment against the forces of exploitative privilege.

The author of three books on CIA operations, Douglas Valentine began his research into the agency's activities when CIA director William Colby gave him free access to interview agency officials who had been involved in various aspects of the Phoenix program in South Vietnam. It was a permission Colby was to regret. The CIA would eventually rescind it and made every effort to impede publication of The Phoenix Program, which documented an elaborate system of population surveillance, control, entrapment, imprisonment, torture, and assassination in Vietnam.

America, says Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Chris Hedges, is convulsed by an array of pathologies that have arisen out of profound hopelessness, a bitter despair and a civil society that has ceased to function. The opioid crisis, the retreat into gambling to cope with economic distress, the pornification of culture, the rise of magical thinking, the celebration of sadism, hate, and plagues of suicides are the physical manifestations of a society that is being ravaged by corporate pillage and a failed democracy. All these ills presage a frightening reconfiguration of the nation and the planet.

Unlike the wars in Vietnam and Iraq, the US invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 had near-unanimous public support. At first, the goals were straightforward and clear: Defeat al-Qaeda and prevent a repeat of 9/11. Yet soon after the United States and its allies removed the Taliban from power, the mission veered off-course and US officials lost sight of their original objectives.

In this major statement, the renowned international-relations scholar John Mearsheimer argues that liberal hegemony, the foreign policy pursued by the United States since the Cold War ended, is doomed to fail. It makes far more sense, he maintains, for Washington to adopt a more restrained foreign policy based on a sound understanding of how nationalism and realism constrain great powers abroad.

In fifteen short chapters, Chris Hedges astonishes us with his clear and cogent argument against war, not on philosophical grounds or through moral arguments, but in an irrefutable stream of personal encounters with the victims of war, from veterans and parents to gravely wounded American serviceman who served in the Iraq War, to survivors of the Holocaust, to soldiers in the Falklands War, among others. Hedges reported from Sarajevo, and was in the Balkans to witness the collapse of the Soviet Union.

To understand world politics, you need to understand how states think. Are states rational? Much of international relations theory assumes that they are. But many scholars believe that political leaders rarely act rationally. The issue is crucial for both the study and practice of international politics. John J. Mearsheimer and Sebastian Rosato argue that rational decisions in international politics rest on credible theories about how the world works and emerge from deliberative decision‑making processes.

Story
During the 20th century, America managed to make its economic and social systems both more and more fair and more and more prosperous. A huge, secure, and contented middle class emerged. All boats rose together. But then the New Deal gave way to the Raw Deal. Beginning in the early 1970s, by means of a long war conceived of and executed by a confederacy of big business CEOs, the superrich, and right-wing zealots, the rules and norms that made the American middle class possible were undermined and dismantled.

Story
In the past five years, Israel has mounted three major assaults on the 1.8 million Palestinians trapped behind its blockade of the Gaza Strip. Taken together, Operation Cast Lead (2008-9), Operation Pillar of Defense (2012), and Operation Protective Edge (2014) have resulted in the deaths of some 3,700 Palestinians. Meanwhile a total of 90 Israelis were killed in the invasions. On the face of it, this succession of vastly disproportionate attacks has often seemed frenzied and pathological.

Publisher's summary
The rise of international jihad and Western ultra-nationalism
In The Management of Savagery, Max Blumenthal excavates the real story behind America's dealings with the world and shows how the extremist forces that now threaten peace across the globe are the inevitable flowering of America's imperial designs.
Washington's secret funding of the mujahedin provoked the Russian invasion of Afghanistan in 1979. With guns and money, the United States has ever since sustained the extremists, including Osama Bin Laden, who have become its enemies. The Pentagon has trained and armed jihadist elements in Afghanistan, Syria, and Libya; it has launched military interventions to change regimes in the Middle East. In doing so, it created fertile ground for the Islamic State and brought foreign conflicts home to American soil.
These failed wars abroad have made the United States more vulnerable to both terrorism as well as native ultra-nationalism. The Trump presidency is the inevitable consequence of neoconservative imperialism in the post-Cold War age. Trump's dealings in the Middle East are likely only to exacerbate the situation.

Middle management of savagery.
Max Blumenthal is one of our best fact based chroniclers of world events. This is clearly his best yet. However in this piece Max reveals his didactic side by extended criticisms of corporate media and bought politicians. He describes the rise of Al Qaeda Isis and Trump as blowback: the unintended consequences of the bad ideas of stupid people. A common refrain. An understandable conclusion if it happened once in a while. But as this book points out it happens all the time. I wonder if Blumenthal sees the consistent pattern that he so eloquently describes; Blowback is not a bug in the system. It is a feature. It is driven by profit seeking and the advance of deeply disturbing form of totalitarian capitalism capable of selling crack to its own citizens and funding both sides of a war.
Max if youre reading this, your readers are angry. We read your books because you are one of the few who report on the corruption of power and its consequences. However we already know our leaders and our institutions corrupt. We see the evidence everyday as our tax dollars engorge elites with ever increasing amounts of wealth and power. Furthering this insidious engine of death and misery all around the planet. We want to know who is behind that corruption and how to stop them. I’ll wait for your next book: The CEOs of Savagery.

In One Word, Flawless
I do not write reviews of any sort. But I felt that I had to in this case. As a person who has lived in the Middle East for an extended period of time, I found the author’s work to be compelling, fair, and frighteningly accurate. The author methodically breaks down the complex issues of today’s Middle East into their basic elements before reconnecting those elements by exposing their perceived AND real connections within the larger picture. A phenomenal book for those who dare to challenge well-established political fallacies with open mind and deep research.

Puts you in the US war machines latest mess
First as of the writing of this review Max Blumenthal was arrested in SWAT action by DC police on bogus charges for a suppose assault were he tried to get food to hold outs in the Venezuelan who were being starved out by a mob of right wing protesters and police 4 months ago. Blumenthal is also the editor for the Gray Zone which has been giving the deep state a lot grief. In this you get an on the ground view of this brutal war and the false narrative the US mainstream media paints. In this books you get the bloody warts and all view of event all to often caused by our Deep State.

Expectations Exceeded
I was already expecting great work from Blumenthal, based on his journalism, and the book didn't break from his superb ability to dig up the most important of facts and provide an excellent history and narration of the Western Genesis of Muslim extremist terror. Able to clearly discern between Propaganda and flat out lies, there is so much here that would make the average American entirely rethink the last 40 years, the people that are in public office, and why we are spending so much money to continue to exacerbate a problem we created, instead of mending relations and assisting war torn countries to create allies instead of enemies. Highly recommended reading, and can't wait to see another book from Max.

Good book, a lot to comprehend
It’s a thoroughly well documented story as stated in the title. I think I would have preferred reading the book. There are so many names and stories to keep track of while listening as the narrator speeds you through it. It took a while to get in sync with the narrator’s speed reading
Author did a great job but I was hoping he would have mentioned the mysterious murder of Seth Rich.

I liked the book. As Americans we don't learn recent history and so it appears we are ignorant of all foreign policies which affect us in the short and long run. This book goes into why it is the bi-partisan consensus Americans should be skeptical of and hold thier representative responsible.

If you think the government has your
Best interests in mind, ask the American Indian how that worked out for them.... I don't remember who said that but this book helps prove the point.
Politicians are as crooked as a dog's hind leg. Those in powerful positions do awful things to people. You keep electing these lifetime politicians and it gets worse.
The scary part is that they put people they have in their pockets, into positions within agencies
that have the power to fabricate a completely false accusation about you or senario if you get in their way, or if you don't agree with them. I think the example of the FBI trying to get the guy (who ended up shooting up the gay bar) to "perform a controlled terror attack" is just the tip of the iceberg. It's pretty frightening. Not that I feel bad about that scumbag, but it's a basic example of how manipulation is present.
The book over all is pretty interesting.

Just why I DETEST THE WARMONGERING, greedy, psychopathic 'governments' of ALL WESTERN COUNTRIES AND THEIR NEVER-ENDING, PLUNDERING, MURDEROUS
& traitorous wars. I WISH they would all be dragged before a really effective COURT OF LAW and punished for all the innocent lives they have taken over 100's of years.
SHAME ON ALL: THE PERPETRATORS; THE MILITARY; THE PLANNERS; THE CLUELESS SO-CALLED LEADERS. MAY THEY ALL ROT IN HELL FOR WHAT THEY HAVE MADE THIS WORLD INTO: HELL ON EARTH. PLUS ALL THE POPULATIONS WHOSE APATHY, IGNORANCE AND ' WANT TO LEAD MY OWN LIFE' HAS FACILITATED THIS.

Eye watering exposure on media and political power
Prepare to be shocked as time after time, well worn and known political and media talking points are held up to the light and seen as the hollow BS that they are.

Max you're the best.
One can only listen with increasing amazement at Max's incredible memory and research capabilities into the neocene world of the neo-liberals that run America as they pervert all peaceful attempts to create a liveable environment for mankind with a constant stream of provocation and warlike invasions.

One of the most important texts on US empire today
A must read for anyone who wishes to understand the true account on how US foreign policy and the US National Security State have shaped our world. Jam packed with well researched information and geniously put together, Max Blumenthal is an amazing journalist and writer. I can hardly wait to read his future works.

Absolutely excellent!
Well researched and comprehensive. Along with Seymour Hersch, Blumenthal is one of the greatest commentators on the US struggle for global hegemony and it’s tragic consequences

In Goliath, New York Times best-selling author Max Blumenthal takes us on a journey through the badlands and high roads of Israel-Palestine, painting a startling portrait of Israeli society under the siege of increasingly authoritarian politics as the occupation of the Palestinians deepens. Beginning with the national elections carried out during Israel's war on Gaza in 2008/9, which brought into power the country's most right-wing government to date, Blumenthal tells the story of Israel in the wake of the collapse of the Oslo peace process.

Story
From Afghanistan and Pakistan to Yemen, Somalia, and beyond, Scahill speaks to the CIA agents, mercenaries, and elite Special Operations Forces operators who populate the dark side of American war-fighting. He goes deep into al Qaeda-held territory in Yemen and walks the streets of Mogadishu with CIA-backed warlords. We also meet the survivors of US night raids and drone strikes - including families of US citizens targeted for assassination by their own government - who reveal the human consequences of the dirty wars the United States struggles to keep hidden.
