Corruptions of Empire - Paperback

by Alexander Cockburn (Author)

"The implied narrative of this collection is the journalist's background, the imperial myths that helped to shape him, the impulse to exile and his encounter with the Reagan era. The background, the myths and the impulse to exile form the first three sections of this book, whose overall architecture will, I hope, give some sense of the terms in which I have viewed my trade."--Alexander Cockburn, from the introduction
