| Professional Review: |
| In his stunning memoir, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, John Perkins detailed his former role as an "economic hit man" in the international corporate skulduggery of a de facto American Empire. Now Perkins zeroes in on hot spots around the world, drawing on interviews to examine the current geopolitical crisis, and providing a compassionate plan to reimagine our world. |

 Written on June 3, 2008 Summary: Read this book! I just finished reading this book. I've been researching this subject for a few years, but more importantly, have been experiencing the effects in my life of the systems he describes. The changin times are barrelling upon us. As a former world traveller, I can attest to everything he says. This is a concise wrap up of his experience produced in a highly readable format, and I believe is indicative of a broader picture. I like that at the end of the book he gives some suggestions for solutions and ways to work together to transform the world. Read this book! Written on May 23, 2008 Summary: Great Book ... A Must Read Excellent follow-up by Mr. Perkins of his astonishing "Confessions of an EHM". First-class condition and splendid service from supplier. If there is in the world a politician who has not read both of these works, then he or she does not deserve the position. Written on May 9, 2008 Summary: A MUST READ by every American. Learn the truth about our Empire. John Perkins was a Economic Hitman for many years. He was one of the bad guys who quit to expose the problems. It's the answers to all the questions you've had about why the world hates the USA. Read and empower yourself with the truth. Written on April 30, 2008 Summary: A good primer I just finished this book after having previously read "Confessions of an Economic Hitman". Perkins does a good job of relating his personal experience and opens the door to a world that most people don't know exist. When I read "Confessions of and Economic Hitman", I went away hungry for more information and details. This made me really look forward to reading this book. "The Secret History of the American Empire" builds on "Confessions" in narrative form. It is footnoted, but does not rely heavily on outside sources to substantiate the author's perspective. This is "Secret History's" drawback. Still, John Perkins never claims in either of this book or "Confessions" that his intention is to extensively back his experience with outside sources. He simply tells his story from his perspective and recommends a path forward. It tells a shocking story in a very sincere way, but, for greater understanding of the subject matter, I would recommend a book with a more academic approach. Regardless, this book is a great starting point for those seeking to better understand the world. Written on April 2, 2008 Summary: Time to Take the Red Pill....! Funny how all the deniers and thos who rate this author's books as "impossible" or "a fabrication" do so, I am willing to bet, from the comfort of having never left their own zip code. How can it be, if their scred "free market" and the government are forces of "freedom and justice"??? As a fomer officer of the Guatemalan Army, charged at one time with guarding those "advisers" and "experts" recommended by the US Embassy, witnessing the granting of unfathomable amounts of money and visas to the US for ministers and their families, as rewards for granting this or that contract to a selected few companies, I can assure you everything Perkins says is true. For those who ask for ironclad proof, it should be an invitation to get off their behinds and do some research of their own, the facts are out there but that would be too much to ask. There is a saying in Guatemala: No hay peor ciego que el que no quiere ver. "The worst kind of blindness is the one that refuses to see" I really despair when I see the situation the country and the world are in nowadays and still there are those who claim it's all good. But as far as these books, they are an eye opener to how business is REALLY done outside the golf and country clubs of the US. |
