US government documents admit the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was not necessary to end WWII. Japan was on the verge of surrendering. The nuclear attack was the first strike in Washington’s Cold War on the Soviet Union.
First published in 1952, I. F. Stone’s ‘The Hidden History …’ was a stunning indictment of the U.S. war machine and the mass media’s unquestioning acceptance of the government’s deception. This new introduction explores the book’s continuing relevance to current events, including the rapidly escalating New Cold War.
A new book by David Michael Smith, ‘Endless Holocausts: Mass Death in the History of the United States Empire’ (New York: Monthly Review Press, 2023), estimates that the U.S. empire is responsible, or shares responsibility, for close to 300 million deaths.
The negative impact of the Western policy of preventing peace in Ukraine is being felt daily by the European public. Will the European people stand up for their sovereignty or will they continue to be the frontline for Washington’s ambitions?
The American government seldom acknowledges its own version of the privatization of war — the tens of thousands of private security contractors it’s used in its misguided war on terror, involving military and intelligence operations in a staggering 85 countries.
The global balance of power is shifting. The resistance to NATO’s push for a New Cold War is growing, particularly among the Third World countries that have historically borne the brunt of the West’s imperial projects.
Understanding how U.S. and NATO policies led to crisis, war, and the risk of nuclear catastrophe.
The G7 meeting reveals the gaps between the US and its allies (Europe and Japan), but these differences of interest and opinion should not be overestimated. A discussion on the nature of the cooperation between the US, Europe, and Japan—the ‘Triad’, as Samir Amin called them.
The militarization of the US comes at high cost. At the top of the list is the possibility of war. The militarization of US foreign policy has also promoted a sense of American exceptionalism and national superiority.
Both the parties, the Democrats and the Republicans, are in basic agreement that: All of the social gains made by the working class in the course of more than a century of struggle must be wiped out, to pay for the U.S. government’s addiction to war and military spending.

For more than seventy years now, week after week, it has continued to analyse the changes taking place in the country and the world from a socialist standpoint, and thus promote the spread of socialist ideology in the country.
