Further reading          For those people wanting to read more, and preferring more in-depth analysis over the selected facts provided here, take a look at the following resources. Deterring Democracy - this comprehensive attack on US Foreign Policy by Noam Chomsky is provided here in full. Noam Chomsky is one of America's most prominent political dissidents, having authored over 30 political books to date. Killing Hope - a book by William Blum detailing US interventions country by country, considered one of the most comprehensive sources on the matter available.

This Interim Report, published in 1975, discusses alleged plots to kill Patrice Lumumba, Fidel Castro, Rafael Trujillo, Ngo Dinh Diem and Rene Schneider. The 20th Century - an online book going into depth regarding world history for the past century. A few news sites which I also recommend are the following. Consortium News - a great independent news source. See especially their Lost History archive. Guerrilla News - another great alternative news source. Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting - offers documented criticism of media bias and censorship since 1986. Center for Cooperative Research - pretty similar to this site in its approach, with a larger focus on more recent events (Sept 11th + Iraq). Take Back the Media - getting to the source of the disinformation. The Nation Magazine - unconventional wisdom since 1865. American Radio works - contains great documentaries on everything from the Lockerbie bombing to Vietnam. Truthout - critical news and commentry. Sourced Reporting - this site is dedicated to providing uninterpreted factual information of select global events from verified media sources.
