Blum, William. Killing Hope: U.S. Military and CIA Interventions Since
World War II. Monroe ME: Common Courage Press, 1995. 457 pages.
This is a revised and expanded edition of "The CIA: A Forgotten
History," which was published in 1986 by Zed Books in London. Unfortunately,
Zed Books did not arrange the U.S. distribution that the book deserved.
With this revised and expanded 1995 edition, it finally became available in
bookstores across America. Since the 49 chapters of the 1986 edition were
already indexed in NameBase, we added only the names from the six extra
chapters in "Killing Hope": Libya 1981-1989, Panama 1969-1991, Bulgaria
1990, Iraq 1990-1991, Afghanistan 1979-1992, El Salvador 1980-1994, and
Haiti 1986-1994.
The other 49 chapters are similarly titled, and deal with distinct
interventions in various other countries. With a total of more than two
thousand end notes, this encyclopedia of U.S. intervention provides the
"big picture" that our mainstream media effectively manage to obscure.
William Blum left the State Department in 1967 over his opposition to
U.S. policy in Vietnam, and became one of the founders and editors of the
Washington Free Press. In 1969, he published the names and addresses of more
than 200 employees of the CIA. Currently he lives in Washington DC and works
with Covert Action Quarterly (formerly Covert Action Information Bulletin).
