William Blum was an employee of the US state department who became aware of the scale of US crimes abroad and decided to document them. His book, Rogue State, is one of the best beginner’s guides to understanding what really goes on in the world. He created the following list to show the countries where the US government has committed its most serious crimes since 1945.
