William Blum, a former state department employee, writes a history book of sorts about covert CIA operations and United States military interventions during the end of the 20th century. It covers a lot of US foreign policy ventures from right after World War II and onward. Its main point is that the American Cold War activities abroad were done with imperialist motives and intentions. Blum may be slightly biased in his writing as he holds a strongly critical view on American foreign policy. I want to use this book as a reference on the many ways in which the US intervenes in other nations in democratic as well as non-democratic ways.
