This book is, in a word, drek.

Written in a thoroughly PC manner, this book goes far beyond revisionism. Bradley cherrypicks his quotes (including many from some dubious sources), takes US actions completely out of the context of its times (as if the US were the only country taking similar actions), and his interpretations of events are, to be charitable, questionable. All the non-US countries dealt with are viewed as utopias, full of enlightened populous who wouldn't dream of even looking crossly at another individual, let along engaging in hostile acts and who, undoubtedly would have evolved into the epitome of superior mankind had only the US not involved themselves.

His interpretation of Teddy Roosevelt is somewhat "unique" (to call it unflattering would not only be an understatement but would be charitable), as is his opinion of a number of US presidents.

Essentially, the book maintains an utterly self-loathing point of view. The US is explicitly and repeatedly called "Aryan" and "Teutonic" in their most pejorative sense; undoubtedly Bradley was frustrated that he couldn't find an actual photo of a US soldier in a black and white uniform, singing US uber alles, with his right hand elevated at a 45-degree angle to back up his points. While he does have some legitimate points to make, his completely arbitrary, almost-hysterical point of view renders them not only moot but invisible.

After 200 pages, my reaction is to hurl this book through the nearest window, which is the fate it probably deserves, only I can't do that because it is a library book. To write a book critical of US foreign policy is one thing; to mindlessly heap opprobrium and invective, with little to support it, is something else, altogether. What's funny is that, his viewpoint is as cartoonish as that of the people he criticizes.

In short, don't waste your time
