Bücher von Peter Dale Scott

The book explores, in interview format, issues raised but not fully explored by Scott's poem Coming to Jakarta on the 1965 Indonesian massacre. In addition, Scott reflects on ways that poetry can serve as a non-violent higher politics, contributing to the evolution of human culture and thus our "second nature."

Now in a new edition updated through the unprecedented 2016 election, this timely book makes a compelling case for a hidden deep state of intelligence agencies, private companies, and billionaires that influence and often oppose U.S. policies.

This text illuminates the forces that drive US global policy, from Vietnam and Colombia to Afghanistan and Iraq. It brings to light the intertwined patterns of drugs, oil politics, and intelligence networks that have been central to the larger workings of US intervention in Third World countries.
