YES ! I just finished his second book: The Secret History of the American Empire.
It is excellent. Basically a continuation of the Confessions of an Economic Hitman, which was his own autobiography. It "Secret History", he expands the theme to include the whole world, region by region. There are sections on Asia, Latin America, Africa and The Middle East. In each section, he details the history of CIA coups and assasinations by the Corporatocracy.
It's essential reading for every American. I honestly believe that if every single person in this country knew the truth of our history, we would make vast changes nearly overnight. Most Repugs are not bad people - they're simply utterly uninformed. They honestly don't know.
I have a friend who's a Pug. I once said, "Well, what about Guatamala?" and he said, "Why? What happened in Guatamala?". This guy thinks what he thinks because he doesn't know the truth.
I've bought like 20 copies of Perkins's book and sent them out. Perkins was interviewed on Air America yesterday. If he can just get some exposure, that mythical "critical mass" would be a lot closer to a reality.
they both ended up on the bestseller list, didn't they?
