This book is a searing critique of the American Empire--a diagnosis of a corrupt pathology. This fierce, three book series is a sweeping account of how the American nation was founded in the plunder of bodies and land, nourished on the vast stolen wealth spawned by the terror of slavery, and later fed and grew fat on war and conquest, as nation became empire and "New Israel" became "New Rome," espousing liberty while consolidating control. The prevailing myth is that America's prized possessions and greatest exports are democracy and the dream of freedom. The naked truth, say Abu-Jamal and Vittoria, is that the American dream is illusory and America's greatest export is in fact murder - and that along the way to the kill, it thieves, suppresses, and tyrannizes. Murder Incorporated strives to set the record straight, to educate, to enlighten and enliven the people against the corruptions of empire--corruptions that stretch from Columbus's first steps on Hispaniola through yesterday's murderous drone attack. More than a history book, Murder Incorporated is a lively, irreverent and spirited alternative to the orthodoxy of American exceptionalism.
