Description
In the aftermath of the September 11th attacks Americans looked out at the world and asked themselves why do they hate us?' With uncompromising clarity and resolve, Ward Churchill uses a complete history of US military actions (1776 to the present) and illuminates the US' relationship with international law to present the more appropriate question, 'how could they not hate us?''
