Doug Dowd's "At the Cliff's Edge" - Part I

by Stephen Lendman     Page 7 of 7 page(s)

Tell A Friend

The Wars in Korea and Vietnam

Liberation helped neither country at a time of Cold War strategy. Things got worse and then some - division; horrific wars; and millions killed, wounded, displaced and immiserated. Wounds are still healing, South Korea still occupied, the North isolated, tensions still high, and Vietnam is chemically contaminated and a US offshore sweatshop.



Dowd reviews the histories and concludes: "To those who cheer our 'victory' in the Cold War, our fist-shaking against the 'axis of evil,' and our 'mission accomplished' in Iraq, here is a request - Dear Uncle Sam: Spare us your victories." They reveal deceit, betrayal and conquest for world dominance.

More on Dowd's book follows in Part II. Watch for it soon on this web site.
