Humanitarian Imperialism: Using Human Rights to Sell War

Humanitarian Imperialism offers a historical as well as a powerful political and moral critique. It outlines an alternative approach to human rights, based on the genuine recognition of the equal rights of people in poor and wealthy countries.

Timely, topical, and rigorously argued, Jean Bricmont’s book establishes a firm basis for resistance in an age of global war.

Jean Bricmont is professor of theoretical physics at the University of Louvain, Belgium.
