George Orwell’s famous novel, 1984, is a masterful fictional account of a state which imposes cognitive dissonance on its citizens to control their perception of reality. It is summed up in the statement, “War is Peace; Freedom is slavery; Ignorance is strength.” The story of this book, Manifest Destiny, is an account of how agencies of US intelligence including the CIA and State Department, in collaboration with private “democracy” NGOs, developed and refined techniques of Orwellian doublethink or cognitive dissonance to create a series of regime changes around the world that sounded noble, democratic, but in reality were not. William Engdahl describes the background beginning in the 1980’s with Reagan’s CIA Director leading to creation of a series of private NGO’s to covertly manipulate aspirations for freedom and democracy from Poland and other communist countries in the late 1980’s, to the Soviet Union to Yugoslavia and China. The book details the refinement of what came to be called Color Revolutions by the early years of this century in Ukraine, Georgia and later with the US-orchestrated Arab Spring. It’s an account of how elite circles in the USA and Europe along with their think tanks refined methods to impose a new tyranny on countries from Ukraine to Egypt to Libya and beyond. The aim was to use democratic aspirations of ordinary people, often youth, to topple regimes resisting what David Rockefeller once called a One World Government, a global corporate tyranny. This is an almost incredible chronicle of how select NGOS speak about freedom, human rights, democracy in order to bring war, violence and terror. The book is a must read for anyone wanting to truly understand world events of the past three decades or more.

5.0 out of 5 stars A National Treasure
Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2018

I'e read three of Mr. Engdahl's books: This one, The Lost Hegemon, and The Gods of Money; I'm now reading his GMO book. I've spent the last decade researching how the world really works (from quantum physics to cosmology, and the history of mankind in between) and feel like I've finally found an 'historian' I can trust. Trust? What do I mean? I mean someone who I know -- via my fact checking and from what I already know from other 'deep' sources -- is neither 'one of them' nor a denial-ridden academic (a useful idiot). Manifest Destiny is an impeccably sourced revelation on how recent history has been (in essence) fabricated by our three letter agencies and the powers behind them, and with the help of the mainstream media. This book is a page turner and a head shaker.

Take the time -- and take your time -- read his books (all of them), listen to his talks... William Engdahl is a national treasure...

Ever since reading Myths, Lies, and Oil Wars I’ve been hooked. Here is a man who has seen behind the curtain and witnessed what’s really going on in the world. He’s not afraid to tell the truth about our natural resources, the world’s superpowers, and how the only remaining superpower has acted to stay at the top, and the tremendous cost for all living beings except the super rich & powerful.

Only after reading some of his books do you realize the lies you’ve been fed by your school, your parents, the legacy media, and your country’s top politicians.

I wish Manifest Destiny was even more up to date about the situation in Ukraine, but now at least I understand what caused the war.

Read the book and find out, if you dare.

5.0 out of 5 stars A History Book That Tells The Future
Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2018
Verified Purchase
Strategic risk consultant and best-selling author F. William Engdahl has written a well-documented history of America's post-Soviet strategy for closing the gap in bringing the world fully under unipolar US control. He meticulously explains the non-violent democratic regime-change apparatus which has overthrown dozens of countries through NGO and think tank front groups which include USAID, the NED, Open Society, and a plethora of others.

He explains how it began in Poland, how the U.S. almost succeeded in taking control of Russia through their puppet Yeltsin in the 1990s but failed when Putin came on to the scene. He explains how this non-violent regime change method was used during Tienanmen Square in China. US policy documents from the year 2000 already discuss preparing for the rise of a Chinese superpower and even describe the need to create a "space force" which has recently been rehashed by President Trump.

Europe viewed the US as a declining superpower and was beginning to challenge US positioning. At the same time Saddam was considering selling oil for Euros, Engdahl details a little known US bill from 1990 that used economic blackmail and called for each Yugoslav republic to become independent, which ultimately exacerbated the causes that led to the Yugoslav War, helping to destabilize and delay somewhat the European project.

Finally, he describes the US strategy to re-make the Middle East once again, which is currently underway, as seen in Libya, Syria, Yemen, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia. Engdahl's publications are essential to understanding international geopolitics.

A very clear, quick read. Spent far more time double-checking the authors assertions/facts than reading. This book is really an essay - it's use can be as a backbone onto which a person can flesh out with study & observation. A real journalist(s) have an infinite number of "investigations" to choose from today - for me I'm glad to be rather old, pity the children!
Certainly worth a read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clearly those in charge are not thinking in america's interst
Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2018
Verified Purchase
America has long invaded other countries, under the guise of responsibilty to protect, from supposed communism, socialism, terrorism, yet the American public refuses to open their eyes. The typical Amrican is aware of what happened long ago but they are blind to the fact it is in full force. Any country with material wealth, minerals, oils, rare earth metals, or strategic geographic positioning is targeted if they dont bend to the elite powers interests. This outstanding book details the common footprints used in the past and current targeted countries. The amazing aspect of America's blindness to what is going on is none of it is in America's interests yet the blind continue to believe lies even after they are repeatedly proven to be lies.

Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2018
Verified Purchase
Engdahl exposes the deception of "Democracy" being an organic construct within USSR, Ukraine and many of the Eastern European countries. It's completely opposite of "true Democracy" under the guise of National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) which is the new non-governmental 'look' for the CIA.

Citizens of all countries need to read all of Engdahl's book. The truth can literally be in your hands if you buy this book. Most people are too trusting to those in charge. The world would be a much better place if, at the minimum, people only new the truth.

Reviewed in Canada on August 17, 2018

Engdahl's book Manifest Destiny essentially picks up where William Blum left off in Killing Hope. Blum's research on US intervention in overthowing countries kinda tapers off around the 90s which makes this book important and pertinent. Some seriously eye opening information in this book. It is books like this which keep you grounded amongst a turbulent media landscape aimed at keeping you focused on the trees, rather than the forest. An essential book for any dissident's library.

Another excellent piece of work from William Engdahl. This book deals with the use of NGOs to affect regime change throughout the world since the break-up of the Soviet Union in 1991. Whilst the subject matter is tough to take on board, the writing is excellent. I sometimes wonder how authors like Engdahl get away with exposing the dirty deeds of recent governments, but alas, only a few people read such books and we are not going to make a difference to the way the world works.
