We Are The Bad Guys: How The U.S. Wages War, Controls Economies, and Calls It Freedom (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798999255617)

We Are the Bad Guys is a bold reckoning with America's role in the world. Moving beyond patriotic slogans and media spin, it exposes how the United States has built and sustained a modern empire-through wars, coups, sanctions, trade manipulation, surveillance, and cultural domination.

Each chapter shines a light on a different front of American power: from the overthrow of governments in Latin America and the Middle East to the export of digital surveillance technology, from environmental destruction tied to U.S. military and corporate interests to the cultural machinery that sells empire as freedom. Drawing on government documents, declassified files, leaked cables, and respected historians, the book reveals a pattern hidden in plain sight: America's power rests not on democracy but on control.

This is not the story most of us were taught. It is sharper, more uncomfortable-and more urgent. We Are the Bad Guys challenges readers to question the myths of American exceptionalism and to see the costs of empire not only for those abroad but for the republic at home.

Candid, meticulously sourced, and unflinching, this book is a wake-up call for anyone who wants to understand the real story of U.S. global dominance. If you have ever wondered why America seems always at war, why sanctions crush nations while claiming moral high ground, or why technology sold as liberation becomes a tool of surveillance, this book provides the answers.

We Are the Bad Guys does not simply describe an empire. It asks readers to confront it-and decide what future comes next.
