Title: On the Justice of Roosting Chickens : Reflections on the Consequences of U.S. Imperial Arrogance and Criminality by Ward Churchill ISBN: 1-902593-79-0 Publisher: AK Press Pub. Date: 01 November, 2003 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $15.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 5 (2 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: A must-read.
Comment: Churchill argues that "terrorism" has been committed by the USA for many years, usually on dark complected people in the Third World, and that citizens either reign in the expansionist forces, or someone else will -- such as the 9/11 terrorist attack.
His is a compelling argument that should be debated by all.
The picture that amazon.com used is incorrect; too bad, because the actual cover is interesting.

Summary: Incendiary reading
Comment: Distilled and powerful, this sobering collection of facts simply explains the origins of "anti-Americanism", and how to fix it. That may surprise some, as this book would most likely be ascribed to that very school of thought, in no small measure because of its uncomprimising honesty in reviewing the historical record of US aggression--both in the "homeland" and abroad, and the tall order it asks of all Americans in understanding that past and acting to remedy it.
The chapter on the US's wars--admittedly truncated to include only the "major" incursions--is a heart-rending compilation of tragedy, a continuous record of devastation our country has indulged in since it was born, cleaned of any excuses a "Good American" might attribute to aberration. It is followed by a chapter twice as long, yet covering but a fourth of the time--only since the end of WW2--that demonstrates the continuous lawlessness displayed by the US government in international affairs. In sum, these chapters provide ample reasons for why "people hate us", while calling US citizens to task for allowing this abhorrent behavior in our name to continue unabated for literally hundreds of years.
It is an uncomprimising book, and will no doubt instill feelings of shock, outrage and shame in anyone who reads it. And this is a *good* thing: Churchill has performed a great service to any US citizen willing to honestly look at themselves and their nation's history; at its core, this book is an attempt to cure the "dementia" of American nationalism, leading to a safer world for *all* of us.
