Crimes of Power & States of Impunity

Explore the intricate dynamics of power in Michael Ph. D. Welch's insightful book, Crimes of Power & States of Impunity, published in 2009. Spanning 256 pages, this essential read delves into the profound changes in U.S. governance following the events of 9/11.
Welch critically examines the historical, political, and economic influences that shape America’s strategies against terrorism. Building on his previous work, "Scapegoats of September 11th," he uncovers a troubling narrative where numerous policies enacted post-9/11 infringe upon fundamental human rights and breach both domestic and international law.
By recounting specific violations and scrutinizing the institutional frameworks that allow them to persist, Welch provides a compelling analysis that invites readers to question the true cost of national security. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of intelligence, state power, and civil liberties in contemporary America.
