Antonia Juhasz is contributing author with John Perkins and others to A Game As Old As Empire. John Perkins' New York Times bestseller Confessions of an Economic Hit Man (more than 500,000 sold) revealed just the tip of the iceberg of the secret world of economic hit men. A Game As Old As Empire exposes many more shocking secrets, exposing the schemes and subterfuges that multinational corporations, governments, powerful individuals, financial institutions, and quasi-governmental agencies use to enrich themselves behind a façade of "foreign aid" and "international development."

The number of Americans who believe that the war in Iraq was a mistake has surpassed the number who felt the same way about Vietnam during that war. At the same time, a much quieter U.S. military build-up is underway on another continent. The ultimate objective of the two efforts is the same: securing Big Oil's access to the regions' oil. The impact in Africa will likely be the same as in Iraq: perpetual occupation, instability, and growing anti-Americanism.
