Isolating provides the perfect time to start a new book and we have one for the top of your list. World BEYOND War’s Co-Founder and Executive Director, David Swanson, just released a new book: 20 Dictators Currently Supported by the U.S. Highlighted in this book are dictators whom the U.S. government currently arms, trains, and funds.

The U.S. government has a habit of supporting brutal (and comically outrageous) dictators. This book offers 20 current examples, together with some background on historical patterns, some explanation for why this happens, and a proposal to put an end to it.

Make a one-time donation of $50 to World BEYOND War, and we will mail you a copy of the book.

Help expose the US government’s historical leveraging of dictators to justify war, coups, and sanctions by sharing this email about the book’s release with your social networks.

No one will read this book and still believe that a primary purpose of U.S. foreign policy is to oppose dictatorships or to promote democracy. If it is important to you to try to believe that, you’ve probably already stopped reading.

“Swanson’s book of dictators contains names of heads of governments that few have ever heard, much less their brutal treatment of their citizens. Swanson exposes the abject duplicity of the U.S. administrations of both political parties that champion human rights, then sell weapons to the abusers of those rights.” —Ann Wright, co-author of Dissent: Voices of Conscience.

Learn about the U.S. government’s relationship with 20 dictators while directly supporting the global movement to abolish war.

“David Swanson succinctly describes how the United States uses military aid, training and arms sales to promote and reward autocracy and suppress democracy throughout the Global South.” —Nicolas Davies, author of Blood On Our Hands: the American Invasion and Destruction of Iraq.
