When WikiLeaks gained attention in 2010 by releasing over 2.3 million classified State Department cables, the world was exposed to the true sentiments of the USA regarding global leaders, allies, and its own policies. This revelation included unsettling truths about human rights abuses, covert operations, and governmental cover-ups. The first volume of this work compiles significant cables, emphasizing their historical significance through expert analysis. It examines how the USA exerts its influence globally, portraying a modern form of imperialism that employs tactics ranging from military interventions and torture to trade agreements and soft power. The close ties between government and corporate interests in promoting American products are also scrutinized. This volume stands as the most thorough examination of State Department cables available. The introduction by Assange addresses ongoing discussions about freedom of information, international surveillance, and justice. Contributions from regional experts cover various topics, including the USA's relations with dictators, human rights issues, and conflicts across Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America, providing a comprehensive overview of America's global strategies and their implications.
