This book delves into the causes of Israel’s genocide against Palestinians, describes the crisis of war in eastern Europe (Ukraine and Russia), West Asia and East Asia, sorting truth from propaganda. It examines the role of the Big Lie in developing public consent and blunting popular opposition, and describes ways countries around the world as well as the general public are pressing for peace.
Reviewer Andrea D writes in NetGalley that “Knight provides the historical context as well as sharp insight. The essays are succinct, pointed and very clear. This is a great supplement for any college class as well as a book to be discussed in community groups.”
Danny Haiphong, Co-author of American Exceptionalism
and American Innocence: A People’s History of Fake News says “Dee Knight has put together a critical analysis of U.S. foreign policy informed by years of experience in the peace movement and rigorous research into the inner workings of the empire. This book is a must read for anyone wanting to understand how the U.S. is pursuing war with Russia and China, and why it must be stopped.”
Radhika Desai, Director, Geopolitical Economy Research Group;
and Convenor, International Manifesto Group, says:
“This book of excellent essays, many written in the heat of events and conveying their urgency, analyzes the current genocide on Palestine and U.S. drive for war, against Russia, China and beyond, in the longer historical perspective of the
U.S. foreign policy as studied by its most important critics. Distilling long years in the peace movement, Knight exposes its roots and points to the only path to peace: opposition to the U.S. war machine.”
Michael Wong, National Vice President of Veterans for Peace;
Co-founder of Pivot To Peace, says:
“Drawing on his lifetime of experience at the front lines of resistance to empire, Dee Knight details the multitude of struggles at home and abroad against the empire, and for building a new, multipolar world in which no single nation dominates, and all nations can live and thrive together. He shows we are now at a tipping point, when the old world of war and exploitation is ending, and a new world is coming
into being."
