Synopsis

Comma’s most ambitious anthology yet, featuring stories inspired by US foreign policy from 1945 to the present day. After 75 years of war, occupation, and political interference – installing dictators, undermining local political movements, torturing enemies, and assisting in the arrest of opposition leaders (from Öcalan to Mandela) – the US military-industrial complex doesn’t seem to know how to stop. This anthology explores the human cost of these many interventions onto foreign soil, with stories by writers from that soil – covering everything from torture in Abu Ghraib, to coups and counterrevolutionary wars in Latin America, to all out invasions in the Middle and Far East. Featuring an afterword about Abu Ghraib by American Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Chris Hedges. Alongside testimonies from expert historians and ground-breaking journalists, these stories present a history that too many of us in the West simply pretend never happened.
