On September 11, 2001, the United States was the victim of a terrorist attack. More than 3,000 people lost their lives when planes hijacked by radical Islamists crashed into the "Twin" Towers, the Pentagon, and a rural area in Pennsylvania.

The U.S. government, alarmed, claimed that these terrorist attacks were aimed at the ideals of freedom and democracy, of which America is the shining beacon, and that they have nothing to do with its foreign policy and the methods it employs in its relations with other countries.

Americans, shocked, fully identified with the views of their government, and anyone who dared to imply that there might be a causal relationship between American foreign policy and the terrorist attacks was almost treated as a traitor.

Can the U.S. government claim the position of moral integrity in this new war against terrorism? Has its policy, even indirectly, put the lives of its citizens at risk?

The "Black Book of America" answers these and many other questions and challenges the positions of the American government, which has supported murderous regimes when it suited its interests... that condemns human rights violations in some countries, while conveniently turning a blind eye or even decisively contributing to the survival of governments that egregiously violate them.
