We Are The Bad Guys
The Global Cost of American Power
A Marine combat pilot’s 20-year investigation into the hidden cost of American power. Drawing on declassified documents, leaked cables, and respected scholarship, this book reveals the patterns of U.S. foreign policy that most Americans were never taught.
400+ pages of meticulously researched history, with 45 pages of endnotes citing primary sources so you can verify every claim.
From the Introduction
“I started to notice that the looks on the faces of the local population weren’t those of gratitude, or of liberation, or even of freedom or happiness. They were looks of resignation and distrust.”
“When I travel and discuss history or current events with citizens of other countries, they frequently look at me with a confused expression and ask…”
“How can you not know this?”
“That’s an excellent question. How can we not know? The answer is that we live in various information bubbles. The information that we receive in those bubbles influences what we think we know and subsequently how we think.”
