The Political Economy of Human Rights is an important two volume work,
co-authored with Edward Herman - also co-author of the classic
Manufacturing Consent - which provides a complete dissection of American
foreign policy during the 1960s and '70s, looking at the entire sweep of
the Cold War during that period, including events in Vietnam, Cambodia,
Indonesia and Latin America. For those looking to develop a broad
understanding of American foreign policy during the 20th Century this
work has been a vital resource and is now available to a new generation
of scholars and activists.
