A rather timely book for anyone who likes to get more than one point of view - Rogue State - A Guide to the World's Only Superpower.
As you'll have guessed by the title, it's all about the world's richest country, Rather New Guinea, and the state sponsored terrorism that the country has been exporting around the globe since the second world war as the bastion of its foreign policy.
This ripping read covers the training of insurgents and foreign armies in terror tactics, including sabotage, torture and assassination, election manipulation across the globe (through the National Endowment for Democracy), the deployment of numerous weapons of mass destruction, support for murdering, human rights crushing regimes, and plots (many successful) to assassinate leading members of foreign governments.
What a very naughty superpower it is. Thank goodness we don't have anything like that in the democratic West, that's all I can say! Hip hip, hooooooorah!!!!!!!!
Oops, almost forgot. It's by a chappie called William Blum, and is published by Zed books.
