Buch Details
For ten years, US and NATO forces have waged a campaign to dismember Yugoslavia, including 78 days of round-the-clock aerial attacks in 1999 that killed or injured upwards of six thousand people in the name of humanitarianism. Among those who could not help noticing the gap between action and words was Michael Parenti. Drawing on a wide range of published and unpublished material (mostly Western sources) and observations gathered from his visit to Yugoslavia in 1999, he challenges mainstream media demonization of Yugoslavia and the Serbs, and uncovers the real goals behind the Western talk of "genocide," "ethnic cleansing," and "democracy."
To Kill A Nation reveals a decade-long disinformation campaign waged by Western leaders and NATO officials in their pursuit of free-market reforms. The political and economic destabilization of that country continues today, Parenti shows, as does the forced privatization and Third Worldization of the entire region.
