[باقر هاشمی · Rating 2 out of 5]

جان کولمن توی این کتاب بیشتر به مساله‌ی نفت و درگیری‌هایی که بر سر نفت بوده اما به نام انقلاب‌ها یا جنگ‌های داخلی توسط رسانه‌ها پوشش داده شده می‌پردازه.
ترجمه‌ی روونی داره اما خیلی بعیده که تحریف نشده باشه.

طرفدارای سریال خانه‌ی پوشالی این کتاب و همچنین کتاب کمیته ۳۰۰ کانون توطئه جهانی رو خواهند پسندید. این کتاب درباره‌ی موضوعیه که این سریال در فصل پنجم می‌خواست بهش بپردازه(و تا حدودی بهش پرداخت) و در ابتدا موجب حذف کوین اسپیسی و بعدش تعطیلی کلّ سریال شد.

Coleman starts this one off by going into how the United States funding and donating troops for the U.N is completely unconstitutional and a violation of various other laws that are on the books. He also exposes the sneaky actions of the world elites in the forming of the Unites Nations. He then shows how various CIA/MI6 covert operations had a hand in the overthrow of various governments. You also get good stuff on the multitudes of holes in the "official" story of the Martin Luther King assassination.

Overall this is a good political/conspiracy book but Coleman really mangles his chapter on the Balkan/Serbian conflict in the 90s. I honestly don't think he got anything right in that chapter. He likes to quote his anonymous "sources" in the intelligence community and I don't doubt that he has them but whose to say that they aren't intentionally feeding him disinformation? Coleman gets most of what makes it into this book correct I think but he also comes up with stuff that is hard for me to swallow and I would consider some of it disinfo. He needs to do more to back up some of his claims besides quoting anonymous "sources". Most of whats in Diplomacy by Deception can be verified and have been written about in depth by left wing academic types though. This, like most books that I read, is one that I'd recomend reading if you can borrow it, check it out from the library or buy it super cheap at a used book store. Colemans books tend to get close to warranting 5 stars book but he always seems to miss the mark just a little so I can't recomend dropping the $15-30 that most books will run you these days on it.

Absolutely informative 👍
Slaps you right in the face and tells you to wake up
Don't skip this one , this is super informative especially if you live in either USA or Middle East (IRAN) for instance
Definitely a worthy buy

I rank this two stars for two reasons.
First, the author makes too many value judgements in his statements about the United Nations, the US and the UK, without providing further evidence. Coleman could not make his statements clear, but rather he states his sentences as he is taking revenge from them.

Second, the author has a lot to say about the global powers and their intentions against the world, but again his mind and his statements are too messy. He starts from 1931s and then he goes back to 1870s and then comes back to 19850s without much connections to his statements.

If one has read many books about the global power power this book does not make a lot of sense to that person. I wanted to read his books Committee of 300, but after reading this book, I am not interested to read his other book.
