USAma: Is USA the World’s Largest Terrorist? Review
In the Sphere:
Amit Bagaria’s books have certainly rocked the past year, 2019. Mostly, his non-fiction books on international affairs and global politics stole the limelight in the non-fiction category throughout the year. One of the books among them was USAma: Is USA the World’s Largest Terrorist? This book is one of the masterpieces written on global politics that exposes the duality in the nature and ideology of the USA. As a responsible country, the USA had to be neutrally indulged in the progress of the world without being mischevious – so could have been if the situation was ideal. However, everything changes when ambition takes over selfless goals and CIA comes into the game. So, what does the author think? Why has Amit Bagaria called the USA biggest terrorist in the world? Why the pun in the title – Osama + USA = USAma? [vcex_divider_dots color=”#dd3333″ margin_top=”10″ margin_bottom=”10″]
The Book:
The USA is flamboyant when it comes to posing as a nation that is committed to the cause of fighting terrorism. In general, the world believes the same. However, when it comes to verifying the ‘truths’ that we hear about America, the facts may confuse many well-versed people in global politics. Amit Bagaria highlights the major chapters of American influence on the world map, in a notorious way, that have changed the course of global politics. The influence of the CIA in various government and non-government functions in many countries around the world, its use of assets in various ways, its black operations targeted at various political and ambitious ends and so on… there are many things that the author has exposed in this book – USAma. [vcex_divider_dots color=”#dd3333″ margin_top=”10″ margin_bottom=”10″]
For the USA, the idea is pretty simple here to indulge in all kind of mischevious activities around the world but not letting the world know its true ambitions. The USA has created enemies, use them and destroyed them as well, for various reasons. For example, the ISIS, as the author here and many other experts of terrorism and geopolitics believe, is the creation of the USA itself – can you agree? Can you satisfy your mind intellectually with the fact that the USA (CIA, to be precise) has used on various occasions, and still does so when they require, the well-known companies like IBM, FORD, P&G and even Amazon and many other companies for its political and dark operations? It is surprising to learn these facts and the author has many things for the readers in the store. [vcex_divider_dots color=”#dd3333″ margin_top=”10″ margin_bottom=”10″]
The Conclusion:
USAma: Is USA the World’s Largest Terrorist? Will prove to be a book that will ask tough questions to the conscience of the readers. They will be forced to think on various perspectives that Amit Bagaria has highlighted and raised with valid and loaded arguments. However, the book becomes too subject-specific at times, alienating the readers, that makes it difficult for the readers to go through it with the same fervour all the time. The enduring ones who can complete the book will find many things to take away and discuss with the experts of global politics about Amit Bagaria’s claims – far-fetched (it seems in the first impression) and logical.
