Ideal Illusions: How the U.S. Government Co-opted Human Rights (American Empire Project)

The Ideal Illusions book is a groundbreaking critique of the troubling symbiosis between Washington and the human rights movement.

Drawing on thousands of documents from the CIA, National Security Council, Pentagon, and development agencies, James Peck reveals how Washington has shaped human rights into a potent ideological weapon for purposes having little to do with rights—and everything to do with furthering America's global reach.

This book is an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the complex relationship between human rights and US foreign policy.

With its gripping and elegant analysis, Ideal Illusions argues that the movement must break free from Washington if it is to develop a truly uncompromising critique of power in all its forms.

Don't miss out on this thought-provoking challenge to the Western human rights consensus.
