Publisher's Summary
The rise of international jihad and Western ultra-nationalism
In The Management of Savagery, Max Blumenthal excavates the real story behind America's dealings with the world and shows how the extremist forces that now threaten peace across the globe are the inevitable flowering of America's imperial designs.
Washington's secret funding of the mujahedin provoked the Russian invasion of Afghanistan in 1979. With guns and money, the United States has ever since sustained the extremists, including Osama Bin Laden, who have become its enemies. The Pentagon has trained and armed jihadist elements in Afghanistan, Syria, and Libya; it has launched military interventions to change regimes in the Middle East. In doing so, it created fertile ground for the Islamic State and brought foreign conflicts home to American soil.
These failed wars abroad have made the United States more vulnerable to both terrorism as well as native ultra-nationalism. The Trump presidency is the inevitable consequence of neoconservative imperialism in the post-Cold War age. Trump's dealings in the Middle East are likely only to exacerbate the situation.

Max you're the best.
One can only listen with increasing amazement at Max's incredible memory and research capabilities into the neocene world of the neo-liberals that run America as they pervert all peaceful attempts to create a liveable environment for mankind with a constant stream of provocation and warlike invasions.

Eye watering exposure on media and political power
Prepare to be shocked as time after time, well worn and known political and media talking points are held up to the light and seen as the hollow BS that they are.

Absolutely excellent!
Well researched and comprehensive. Along with Seymour Hersch, Blumenthal is one of the greatest commentators on the US struggle for global hegemony and it’s tragic consequences

One of the most important texts on US empire today
A must read for anyone who wishes to understand the true account on how US foreign policy and the US National Security State have shaped our world. Jam packed with well researched information and geniously put together, Max Blumenthal is an amazing journalist and writer. I can hardly wait to read his future works.
