Acclaim for the book “Sanctions, a Wrecking Ball in a Global Economy“:
“An important book about a little understood problem creating global havoc in our time, this unique collection of essays and articles by activists from every corner of our beleaguered planet destroys the myth that sanctions are some kind of more benign form of warfare….[giving] well-documented examples in dozens of countries who have suffered or currently suffer so grievously at the hands of US indifference to the catastrophic consequences of cruel sanctions.” –Alice Slater, Board of World Beyond War, Global Network Against Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space and UN NGO Rep. of Nuclear Age Peace Foundation
“I commend this book. It is a great organizing and political education tool for our work. This will be especially helpful to young people as they join and swell the ranks of our anti-imperialist movement.” – Asantewaa Nkrumah-Ture, Black Alliance for Peace and Green Party – Philadelphia Chapters
“[This book] …manages to deftly condense history and make accessible the secretive mechanics of U.S. covert warfare – which is what sanctions truly are. …this book should be on every professors’ required reading list for students.” – Gloria Guillo, Green Renaissance-Sovereign Rights Movement
“I can say without fear of contradiction that the publication of Sanctions—A Wrecking Ball in a Global Economy provides a much-needed source of historical and current information about the nefarious reality of America’s go-to policy of choice—sanctions.
With US-led sanctions on Russia boomeranging back to harm the sanctioning parties more than the sanctioned, it is critical that the public at large get involved in the kind of informed debate, discussion, and dialogue necessary to effect change on the part of those who continue to view sanctions as a viable policy option. This book serves as an invaluable resource in that effort.” –W. Scott Ritter, December 20, 2022
“Sanctions: A Wrecking Ball in a Global Economy” is an extremely important contribution to the antiwar movement. This book is necessary reading for all antiwar activists. – Joe Lombardo, United National Anti-War Coalition (UNAC)
