For seventy-eight days, in 1999, US and NATO forces launched round-the-clock aerial attacks against Yugoslavia, dropping 20,000 tons of bombs and killing upwards of three thousand people in the name of humanitarianism. Among those who could not help noticing the gap between action and words was Michael Parenti. Drawing on a wide range of unpublished material and observations gathered from his visit to Yugoslavia in 1999, he challenges mainstream media coverage of the war and uncovers hidden agendas behind the Western talk of “genocide,” “ethnic cleansing,” and “democracy.”

To Kill a Nation reveals a decade-long disinformation campaign waged by Western leaders and NATO officials in their pursuit of free-market reforms. This continues, Parenti shows, as industrial and ecological destruction wrought by the war last year helps the West to destabilize Montenegro and Vojvodina today.

Michael Parenti is the author of fourteen books including Democracy for the Few, Inventing Reality, Make-Believe Media, Land of Idols, Against Empire, Dirty Truths, Blackshirts and Reds, America Besieged, and History as Mystery. His work has been translated into ten languages.

Radical in the true sense of the word, Parenti digs at the roots which … sustain our public consciousness. — Los Angeles Times Book Review		 Publication
