| "Who first set us on this disastrous road of endless war and imperial overreach? Who won over liberals by saying that military interventions were for humanitarian purposes? Who first raised false fears of WMD in Iraq and set in motion the U S. invasion? Who first carried out the odious practices of extraordinary rendition and drone attacks in the War on Terror? Who first violated the US pledge, extended the borders of NATO and triggered the new Cold War with Russia? Jeremy Kuzmarov brilliantly answers these questions." JAMES BRADLEY author of Flags of Our Fathers, The China Mirage | | | | | | | In so many ways, Clinton's presidency set the groundwork for the disasters that were to follow under Bush II, Obama, Trump, and Biden. It was Clinton—building off of Reagan—who first waged a War on Terror ridden with double standards, one that adopted terror tactics, including extraordinary rendition, bombing and the use of drones. It was Clinton who cried wolf about human rights abuses and the need to protect beleaguered peoples from genocide to justify military intervention in a post-Cold War age. And it was Clinton's administration that pressed for regime change in Iraq and raised public alarm about the mythic WMDs—all while relying on fancy new military technologies and private military contractors to distance US shady military interventions from the public to limit dissent. | | | | | ISBN: 9781949762761 $30.95 EBOOKS ISBN: 978-1-949762-77-8 $20.00 | | | | "Bill Clinton's jolly amorality personified the superficial self-confidence of an American elite intoxicated with the notion it had "won the Cold War" and so from now on, anything goes. Thus the Clinton administration forged ahead with policies based on blatant lies and unlimited confidence in the ability of U.S. power to get its way forever. Jeremy Kuzmarov's new book records how Clinton's short-sighted opportunism contributed to long term disasters all over the world." —DIANA JOHNSTONE, author of Queen of Chaos: The Misadventures of Hillary Clinton | | | "Before Obama's drones, there were Clinton's cruise missiles. For those curious about how liberals became today's most fervent cheerleaders of the national security state and the intelligence community, look no further than this devastating revisionist account of the foreign policies of William Jefferson Clinton, who authorized more military interventions in his first term than during all eight years of Ronald Reagan. More than just a catalog of Clintonian interventionism, Warmonger draws on primary sources to construct a convincing origins narrative for how the seemingly progressive Clinton became one of the most dedicated American imperialists of the post Cold War era." —THOMAS C. FIELD, Jr. Associate Professor and Department Chair of Global Security and Intelligence Studies at the Embry-Riddle College of Security and Intelligence and author of From Development to Dictatorship: Bolivia and the Alliance for Progress in the Kennedy Era | | | "Prolific and faultless researcher-writer, in addition to being Covert Action Magazine's managing editor, who brought CAM back into the fore as a leading leftwing and investigative reporting website, Jeremy Kuzmarov found spare time to write this unique tome about one of US's greatest warmongering presidents. With Jeremy's fifth book on US foreign policy (perpetual war-making) he has unclothed egregious, jingoist Bill Clinton's presidency—albeit not so recognized by the general public, mainly due to "liberals", "progressives" negation of this indisputable truth. These apologists are significantly Democrats and European Social Democrats whose hyperbole—"Democrats are better than Republicans"—seeks to obscure complicity with US "color revolutions"/"human rights" wars. Bring "democracy" to the world, they contend, with untold millions murdered and/or tortured, or left starving by crippling sanctions." —RON RIDENOUR, author of The Russian Peace Threat: Pentagon on Alert | | | JEREMY KUZMAROV is Managing Editor of CovertAction Magazine.
