Book Information

Millions of people have died as a result of Britain's foreign policy. Curtis shows Prime Minister Tony Blair's government's continuing support for many of the world's most repressive regimes and, using unearthed evidence from formerly secret documents, reveals the hidden history of unethical British policies, including: support for the massacres in Iraq in 1963; Britain's private backing of the US in its aggression against Vietnam; support for the rise of Ugandan dictator Idi Amin; the prosecution of a covert 'dirty war' in Yemen in the 1960s; Britain's backing of apartheid regimes in South Africa; secret campaigns with the US to overthrow the governments of Indonesia and British Guiana; the welcoming of General Pinochet's brutal coup in Chile in 1973; and much more.
