    REVIEWS

    "Not surprisingly, the mainstream American media did not give Boyle's book
    anything near the coverage it deserves. But one day, his expert witness testimony,
    along with others, could be used in a court of law, or by historians, to identify who
    is/was behind this pure evil. It may take years, but that day will surely come.."

    SYNOPSIS

    "In international legal terms, the Bush Jr. administration should be viewed as
    constituting an ongoing criminal conspiracy under international criminal law in
    violation of the Nuremberg Charter, the Nuremberg Judgment, and the
    Nuremberg Principles, due to its formulation and undertaking of war policies
    which are legally akin to those perpetrated by the Nazi regime in pre-World War II
    Germany."

    Francis A. Boyle, Destroying World Order

    Since the war in Afghanistan and Operation Iraqi Freedom, Americans have
    been surprised to learn that much of the world now views the United States itself
    as a major threat to global peace. American international legal expert Francis A.
    Boyle examines the imperial dimensions of U.S. policy in the Middle East, past
    and present, which may help to account for these views.  

    In a hard-hitting commentary well-grounded in fact and in law, Boyle addresses
    the train of U.S. transgressions of international law, leading to havoc in the
    region, and destabilization of the world system as a whole.  By the presidency of
    George W. Bush,  U.S. policy had evolved to a public assertion of the right to
    preemptive war, and its actual implementation.

    This book discusses U.S. assistance to Iraq during the Iran/Iraq war, U.S.
    conduct of the 1990 Gulf War, and the recent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq in
    relation to their violation of the laws of neutrality, humanitarian law, the laws of
    war--and the law of the U.S. Constitution.

    The concluding chapter provides a guide to impeaching President George W.
    Bush for lying in leading the nation to war.
