The American government, through its media, has convinced most Americans to support the Ukrainian government. This books shows why this is a mistake.
It shows how, in one sense, the war in Ukraine is simply one more instance in the trajectory of American imperialism. as illustrated by previous US interventions in Iran, Guatemala, Cuba, Brazil, Greece, Dominican Republic, Panama and Iraq. The Ukraine war reveals just how committed America is to maintaining a unipolar world order: Because this war illustrates that America is willing to threaten nuclear holocaust. it is almost as if people in the U.S. State Department and military believe that life is not worth living unless the US can control the world.
“David Griffin’s book forced me to confront the difficult truth that I had never embraced the reality that American Imperialism was a “thing”. But after reading his book, America on the Brink, I cannot hide from the fact that not only has my country become the modern-day equivalent of Ancient Rome, but that we have been thus my entire life. This awakening was David’s final gift to me and the world, accomplished through a book that must be read by all who are struggling to define the role played by America in the world today. You can’t solve a problem unless you first properly define it; David Griffin defines the scope and scale of the American problem.”
SCOTT RITTER, Former Chief Inspector for the UN in Iraq, author Disarmament in the Time of Perestroika
“In 16 chapters Griffin exposes the dangers of American imperialism and denounces aggression and war crimes that have been committed in our name. The chapter “Facing Up to the True Nature of the American Empire” is essential reading for every human rights activist, for every person who values truth and human dignity.” ALFRED DE ZAYAS, Former UN Independent Expert on the Promotion of a democratic and equitable international order
“No one gives us a clearer picture of how we have engendered fear, suspicion, and hatred in much of the world, while still assuring ourselves about our virtue, than David Griffin. I strongly recommend this book for Americans who are able to learn the truth.” JOHN B. COBB., Jr. Processor Emeritus of theology Claremont School of Theology
