In his stunning memoir, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, John Perkins detailed his former role as an "hit man" operating within the international corporate skullduggery of a de facto American Empire. That riveting, behind-the-scenes exposй unfolded like a cinematic blockbuster told through the eyes of a man who once helped shape that empire.
Now, in The Secret History of the American Empire, Perkins zeroes in on hot spots around the world and, drawing on interviews with other hit men, jackals, reporters, and activists, examines the current geopolitical crisis. Instability is the norm; it's clear that the world we've created is dangerous and no longer sustainable. How did we get here? Who's responsible? What good have we done and at what cost? And what can we do to change things for the next generations? Addressing these questions and more, Perkins reveals the secret history behind the events that have created the American Empire.
Unfortunately, only audio, no text as the book is very rare.

Ed Reardon's Week Radio sitcom following curmudgeonly 50-something writer Ed Reardon, and his flawed attempts to escape poverty via literary success. Genre: Sitcom Broadcast: 2005 - 2008 (BBC Radio 4) Episodes: 30 (5 series) (Ser 1 Ep 1&2 missing - will attempt to locate) Starring: Christopher Douglas, Philip Jackson, John Fortune, Sally Hawkins, Barunka O'Shaughnessy, Stephanie Cole, Rita May, Geoffrey Whitehead, Simon Greenall, Daniel Tetsell, Alice Lowe Writers: Christopher Douglas, Andrew Nickolds Production: British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Full Details: This sitcom follows the life of Ed Reardon, a curmudgeonly writer who has only managed to have one novel published since the 60s. Despite his distinct lack of success, Ed remains bullishly optimistic about his future. Yes, he may only have a single pair of trousers and have one of the lowest sales ranks on Amazon, but no writer knows more about stealing stationery from their agent... as a freeloader Ed Reardon is the acknowledged king of his profession! Regular characters joining Ed include Felix, the boss of Ed's publishers, Ping his '12 year-old' agent, the lively pensioners he teaches a screenwriting class to and his old friend, the irritatingly rich and successful movie director Jaz Milvane. Review: This show is easily in the shortlist of the radio sitcoms of the decade. Perfectly written, and perfectly performed, it is intelligent Radio 4 comedy at its very best.
