It also discovered the dark truths of national policies, human rights violations, covert operations and cover-ups. The WikiLeaks Files is the first volume that uses experts to collate the most important cables and shows their historic importance. The book explores in a series of chapters covering the major regions of the world how the US Empire has imposed its will. It reveals how the US imposes its agenda on the world: a new form of imperialism that uses a variety of tactics from torture and military action, to trade deals and "soft power," in order to expand its influence. It shows the details of the close relationship between government and big business in promoting US goods around the world. The WikiLeaks Files is the most comprehensive analysis of US State Department cables to date. The introduction by Julian Assange--for the first time--exposes the on-going debates on freedom of information, international surveillance and justice. Regional expert contributors include Dan Beeton, Phyllis Bennis, Michael Busch, Peter Certo, Conn Hallinan, Sarah Harrison, Richard Heydarian, Dahr Jamail, Jake Johnston, Alexander Main, Robert Naiman, Francis Njubi Nesbitt, Linda Pearson, Gareth Porter, Tim Shorrock, Russ Wellen, and Stephen Zunes"-- Provided by publisher. 504 Includes bibliographical references and index. 610 20 WikiLeaks (Organization) 610 27 WikiLeaks (Organization)|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01795978. 650 0 Official secrets|zUnited States. 650 0 Government information|zUnited States. 650 0 Leaks (Disclosure of information)|xUnited States. 651 0 United States|xForeign relations|y2001-2009. 651 0 United States|xForeign relations|y2009-2017. 653 Ngọc test 700 1 Assange, Julian,|ewriter of introduction. 907 .b76518504|b06-13-17|c09-29-15 910 RDA ENRICHED 910 ybp 910 Backstage 910 TOC 910 Hathi Trust report SPM 910 BROWNu 953 Việt Nam|b1940 970 01 |tIntroduction|cJulian Assange|fAssange, Julian|p1 970 11 |tPart I 970 11 |l1.|tAmerica and the Dictators|p23 970 11 |l2.|tDictators and Human Rights|p74 970 11 |l3.|tWar and Terrorism|p112 970 11 |tPart II 970 11 |l4.|tIndexing the Empire|cSarah Harrison|fHarrison, Sarah |p145 970 11 |l5.|tUS War Crimes and the ICC|cLinda Pearson|fPearson, Linda|p159 970 11 |l6.|tEurope|cMichael Busch|fBusch, Michael|p181 970 11 |l7.|tRussia|cRuss Wellen|fWellen, Russ|p212 970 11 |l8.|tTurkey|cConn Hallinan|fHallinan, Conn|p237 970 11 |l9.|tIsrael|cPeter Certo|fCerto, Peter|p263 970 11 |l10.|tSyria|cRobert Naiman|fNaiman, Robert|p297 970 11 |l11.|tIran|cGareth Porter|fPorter, Gareth|p322 970 11 |l12.|tIraq|cDahr Jamail|fJamail, Dahr|p350 970 11 |l13.|tAfghanistan|cPhyllis Bennis|fBennis, Phyllis|p368 970 11 |l14.|tEast Asia|cTim Shorrock|fShorrock, Tim|p395 970 11 |l15.|tSoutheast Asia|cRichard Heydarian|fHeydarian, Richard|p433 970 11 |l16.|tSouth Africa|cFrancis Njubi Nesbitt|p471 970 11 |l17.|tLatin America and the Caribbean|cDan Beeton|fBeeton, Dan|p483 970 11 |l18.|tVenezuela|cAlexander Main|fMain, Alexander|p515 970 11 |tNotes|p546 970 11 |tList of Contributors|p589 970 11 |tIndex|p594 998 r0001|b09-29-15|cm|da|e-|feng|genk|h4|i1 998 r0001|b09-29-15|cm|da|e-|feng|genk|h4|i1
