Description
No! This is not a book about Usama bin Laden, even though he was a global terrorist.
In this spine-chilling book, Bagaria takes us through an extraordinary journey of detailed accounts about illegal/immoral acts (mostly unknown to the average reader) carried out by the United States of America (USofA) against 82 sovereign nations. He tries to show us how, in one way or the other, with sheer money and/or muscle power, Unjust Satan America (USA), as he calls it, has bullied its way to global dominance – interfering in our day to day lives, working perhaps for the benefit of only the Military Industrial Complex – which he describes in detail in the first chapter.
“USAma” is a term Bagaria has coined to describe USA. Either through drones, or airstrikes, or through full-scale military invasions, “USAma” has created havoc in more than half the world, he says. In other countries, different types of weapons have been used – from porn films to poison, from blackmailing to torture, from fake news to fake public protests – all through CIA.
Bagaria says that the most unfortunate part is that even the most educated amongst us have been made to believe that USA is justified – as the global policeman – in helping weaker nations fight evil, whether in the form of Communism, or Islamism. This is despite the fact that, to serve its own selfish purposes, USA has supported some of the most brutal dictators, helped in the advent or establishment of Islamic Republics, and has even supported Communist regimes in some cases. THAT is the power of American propaganda.
Abhimanyu Shaw, Book Reviewer, Kolkata –
Amit Bagaria has yet again proved why he is one of the most sought out authors. He has shown a difference in approach, title and content which is pretty evident from all his books. If you
have read any one of his books, that one book alone would stand as a testimony to prove his brilliance. They may not be classics now, but mark my words, the day is not far.
Anahita Irani, AMAZON TOP 1000 Reviewer, Mumbai –
If you want to read about the various tactics deployed by USA across the globe in order to establish their supremacy, this is the book you need to read. I loved the writing style of the author. His words are thought provoking and at the same time, appealing.
Ankita Saraswat, Homemaker, Kolkata –
The author’s confidence is reflected in the free flow of his writing from beginning till end. The way the book is written is simply superb.
Brajesh Kumar Singh, IT Professional, Chennai –
The book felt like a fiction novel. The content kept me hooked till the end.
Richa Jagyasi, Serial Book Reviewer, Howrah, West Bengal –
I seriously wonder how much time the author would have spent to come out with such an innovative book. It may look easy when you are reading the book but it takes lot of time and effort to put them all in one place – in the right sequence. Though some facts would have been known to you already, the way he has gone deep into them makes it a real unique book. Author has the ability to keep you hooked.
Brinda Ramani, Avid Book Reader and Reviewer, Chennai –
One of the best books, I have read till date. Why? This book has content that no one would have expected to read. The magnanimity makes you feel awestruck. The author has spent a lot of time in researching the subject as has given the best, yet again, and he cannot afford to give any information as he may like about a superpower. I must say, he has done a great job!!
Deepika Garg, IT Professional, Chandigarh –
The book is a masterpiece. The author is a master storyteller. The in-depth knowledge of the author is pretty much evident in this book. It makes me wonder why the author was not offered some position in the Central Government.
Dev Roy, Photographer, Howrah, West Bengal –
When you finish reading this book, you might have a different opinion [about USA]. Facts are truth and truth is bitter.
Dhiraj Gupta, Avid Book Reader and Reviewer, Kolkata –
I understood that not all we have seen and heard about history is true.
Gurwinder Singh Kahlon, Patiala, Punjab –
The chapter titles stand as a perfect example of what to expect from the book, for example, ‘WMD – Who Must Die?’. The way Uncle Sam made friends in the initial stages and when they turned hostile (what made them turn hostile is the question one should ask), they were blacklisted and bombarded apart from economic sanctions – [all this] has been captured candidly in this book. The wars/conflicts which could have been avoided were allowed to take place leading to casualties of thousands of army personnel and also civilians. Read the book and be informed.
Mohit Chopra, Book Lover and Reviewer, Ghaziabad, NCR –
The content of the book is top class.
Krunal Parikh, Engineer, Ahmedabad –
You would be frightened to read the revelation of John Smith, a covert CIA operative in New Delhi, about delivering a ‘deadly’ package to a Chinese national. The book clearly outlines the way CIA tried to manipulate things and wrest control over others. Things are manipulated in such a way that we are made to believe what isn’t the truth. International Politics isn’t easy. They involve lot of unexpected but nasty surprises. Who emerged as a winner is the end is clear. Read the book and you will surely recommend it to others.
Parikshit Shah, Writer and Reviewer, Panvel, Maharashtra –
Is Uncle Sam the ultimate authority? Looks like it is the case since World War II and continuing till date. We see lot of people migrating to this great nation to build their career. There is nothing wrong in it. It is their decision and their life. But, when you finish reading this book, you might have a different opinion, for sure. This book rightfully brought in front of us how they [USA] have meddled with the politics of 82 countries. Why? Who all were responsible for this? Leaders who came to power through public support started using their position to their advantage and in order to appease big corporations. America’s ‘Black Budget’ (budget for Secret Ops) alone stood at staggering INR 567,000 Crores in 2019. There is more that has been covered in this book.
Pintu Sadhukhan, Blogger, Kalyani, West Bengal –
When you get an intriguing title coupled with a great cover, you have passed the first and important test of evoking interest among readers. Author has scored a perfect shot in this aspect. Of course, author is known for his content too, since he has written nine books. Each chapter is unique in its own aspect. You would be shocked to know that USAma has been responsible for more than 7 million lives since WW-II. This is horrifying and shocking.
Yes, the nation is doing all it could to protect its interest but at what cost, is the billion dollar question. If you think they attack through weapons, you are grossly wrong. The attack is carried out in various formats and some of them would come as a real shocker to you. After reading this book, I was surprised, amazed, shocked to say the least. I have experienced almost all kind of emotions known to a human being!
Raj Kumar Kurmi, Book Addict and Serial Reviewer, Kolkata –
Though it is based on historical facts, the way this book is written is simply superb and makes it a compulsive read.
Shailendra Singh Rathore, Tech Enthusiast & Internet Guru, Mumbai –
Though some facts are known to us already, the way the author has gone deeper into them makes the book really unique. He keeps you hooked.
Shilpa Helen, Yoga Teacher, Meerut, UP –
The book is certainly an eye-opener where you get to know lot of things which you wouldn’t have imagined even in your wildest dreams.
Shivani Jain, Rudrapur, Uttarakhand –
If you are looking for conclusive evidence about some war, this is the book you need to refer to as it has got the compilation of all that went wrong in the past 3-4 decades which mainly involved the hands of CIA.
Saikat Gon, Burdwan, West Bengal –
An extraordinary book. A detailed account of what influenced a nation to start wars and how these were fought. It is a must read!
Shubham Aney, Nashik, Maharashtra –
After reading this book, I was convinced that conflicts which have changed the course of history were master minded and executed as per the will and wish of few powerful people.
Shubham Bhatia, IT Professional, Noida, NCR –
There is a saying that ‘Uncle Sam tries to poke into the business of other nations’ and this book rightfully brought in front of us how they played in various nations.
Sourav Mondal (souravzart), Photographer, Kolkata –
This book is certainly the best I have come across in recent times. An exceptional book which stands apart from others. A collectible.
Ritabrata Dutta, Student, Kolkata –
The importance of being in power and to create a base across the globe to sustain the position finds a perfect description in this well-written book, which is surely an eye opener. My love for international politics has found a new avenue.
Hitanshu Sharma, Social Media Specialist, Bengaluru –
I loved the author’s writing style as it was powerful, straight to the point and appealing. International politics is vast and the scenario keeps changing. This has been covered meticulously in this book, which makes it a real good read.
Sujay Koner, Blogger, Burdwan, West Bengal –
This book is a daring attempt to bring out lot of information which may or may not have been known to the public. It talks about war, price paid by the nation on which the war was declared, reasons for the war and consequences after the war. The reasons have been explained in a crystal-clear way supported by lot of evidences.
Sarath Babu, Author, Blogger & AMAZON TOP 500 Reviewer, Chennai –
I have read many of Amit’s other books. His knowledge is beyond comparison especially when it comes to international/national politics. If you have read any of his previous books, you would not disagree. This book is a testimonial. The content is very well researched. If you love thrillers, you will surely fall in love with this book.
Anupama Jindal, Patiala, Punjab –
Well-researched text based on actions & reactions of USA to situations & events of the past and their repercussions on future. It shows how USA used its arsenal & prowess in establishing its hegemony & how it negotiated decisions of other countries in its favour without showing its iron hand. The book made me think of Ari Shavit’s “My Promised Land” – The triumph and tragedy of Israel. Both document the journey of a nation. Shavit incorporates interviews as chapters and Bagaria incorporates institutions.
Honey Sinha, Blogger & Book Reviewer –
The book is an eye-opener. I liked that the author included a proper glossary at the start. The book is really long and felt little dragged. I liked the little pictures throughout the book. I would definitely recommend it to everyone. It’s definitely worth your time.
Fadila Zainaba Kurickal, Avid Book Reader & Reviewer, Lucknow –
The book gave me a different emotion for America, because it isn’t what you see, but a lot more. The language is lucid and complex, but the complexity isn’t an issue as the author described every such word in the beginning which was impressive and handy throughout the book. Overall a great experience to read.
Pratiksha Singh (reading.4.escape), Book Lover, Mumbai –
This book makes one aware of a lot of things happening around the world. Easy to read and well-paced. Writing style is simple and crisp. Although dragged but overall an interesting read.
Blitzer Jo’Devon, Book Lover, Guwahati, Assam –
The author has done deep research and tried to interpret the chain of events of USA’s military and political interferences in other countries. As a whole, the book speaks about rapid commercialisation of patriotism, which is touching.
Arti Manekar, Book Lover, Sausar, MP –
Title and cover perfectly match each other and the content. The book is very informative. Author added data in an interesting manner, which holds the readers. Narration is good.
Kabita Das (Queen’s omelette), Student, Kolkata –
First of all, it is great to have all this information; second, it would have been great to have it without the bias.
Dr. Jeshwanti Raghuram Raju, Doctor, Kanpur, UP –
Instead of putting all effort to portray USA as USAma, things could have been handled in a better way. My sincere appreciation for the author’s effort. It deserves all of it.
Abhijeet Patil, Self-Employed, Ghoti, Maharashtra –
If you want a book with researched content, and which showcases both sides of the coin, this is that type of book.
Aiman Afri, Lucknow, UP –
A well-researched, organised and documented story which properly gives an idea of USA’s deeds in encouraging terrorism in the world. A great read for people pursuing political science.
Simrin Kapoor (Simrinthereader), Book Lover & Reviewer, Lucknow –
I have read another of Amit’s books which was really great to read and this was even better. All his books are so well researched and have great knowledge and content that it is a great pleasure to read his work.
Mansidak Kaur, National Capital Region, India –
The book is different from any I have read till date. It’s a treasure trove of facts. If you want to read about various tricks and tactics deployed by USA to establish their hegemony over the world, this is the best book you can get your hands on.
Simran Bhatia, Book Lover, Delhi –
This book is a well-researched masterpiece in exploring the most important aspect of terrorism especially when it comes to big corporations. It is a fantastic and lucid read. It is a recommended book on top of the list as it is sure to create an indelible imprint on the reader’s mind!
Md. Akhlaq, AMAZON TOP 5000 Reviewer, Lucknow –
This fact-based book opens up the hidden conspiracies of USA. I’m impressed with the research.
Swayam Nath, Blogger, Guwahati, Assam –
Kudos to the author for great research. Each topic is covered in a great way. The book is strategically written, with very good diction. I recommend it to those people who do a lot of MUNs.
Dr. Insha Chirag (Chirag Gupta), Doctor, Delhi –
A great work by the author, which deserves your undivided attention from the very beginning. The book is different from any I have read till date. It has expanded my knowledge of the world.
Akshay Rakshit, Amravati, Maharashtra –
This book is surely a show stopper. Do you know who eventually benefits from wars? Read the book for shocking revelations.
Anshuman Kumar, Amritsar, Punjab –
A scrutiny of other reviews establishes beyond doubt that the book has been well received. The book has 33 interesting chapters. The ones I liked the most: POTUS 43, Cuban Cigars, Land of 80 Dictators, Java Coffee, Persian Carpets. Each title evokes interest. The content is so intense that you will start feeling the heat, slowly and gradually.
Chandan Kumar, IT Professional, Bengaluru –
Despite preaching others about non-usage of nuclear weapons, only USA has used it till date. USA always had an eye on oil rich nations. It is probably this which called for the latest attempt to purchase Greenland. Author foresaw this and said in the book that, leaving aside Greenland and Africa, 95% of the world is covered by USA’s nefarious activity. Do you see how brilliant he is with his foresight? I haven’t seen many of the pictures used in the book and they added weightage to the content.
Fathima Ismail, Homemaker, Noida (NCR) –
A bold attempt by the author who has brought into limelight the various aspects of USA’s functioning. He tries to ascertain what factors define Uncle Sam vying to be the ultimate authority. It is shocking to see many [American] Presidents credited with wars. You will also be convinced that wars do not occur naturally but were created artificially (forcefully).
Rahul Gupta, Kolkata –
Even a superpower has failed on few occasions. Some are known to the public but if you want to get a deep insight, pick up this book, which is a culmination of hundreds of hours spent by the author.
Chirag Gupta, Avid Book Reader and Reviewer, Kolkata –
Author is a master storyteller. His masterpiece will keep you hooked from beginning till end. The tinge of sarcasm used here and there comes naturally to Amit. I was fascinated by the chapter “The MIC”. It is unbelievable in many contexts.
Niranjan Hiriadka, AMAZON TOP 750 Reviewer, Udupi, Karnataka –
What is the need for a war that leads to massive destruction and at times, disintegration of a country? What makes nations fall into debt traps? This brilliant compilation has the answers. I have not come across a book dedicated to a specific subject which goes in great detail to discuss almost all influencing aspects.
Shrinidhi Hande, IT Professional, Chennai –
Amit Bagaria’s USAma is a very detailed book that illustrates with data, evidence and logic why certain countries in the world, such as USA, keep interfering in world affairs under one pretext or others, and eventually use military means to get what they want. Do read this book to get a good idea of economic and political interests of world powers behind various wars and propaganda projected under world peace or other socially acceptable excuses.
Prathyu Kamesh, Software Engineer, Hyderabad –
Amit has done an exemplary job. He terms USA as USAma for the military invasions, illegal acts, airstrikes on various countries. He has included points on how CIA fooled people and spread fake news. The research, presentation and effort which he put in giving this book shape will astonish the reader. He has given insights about surgical strikes, drones, political views, deadly practices, schemes and plans, and many other things which are out of the imagination of a normal person. Each chapter is a piece of extraordinary work which blows your mind.
Shree Janani Sunderrajan, IT Professional, Chennai –
While Osama bin Laden was…responsible for the death of 6,000 odd people, the author draws attention to a ‘terrorist’ hidden in plain sight, responsible for the death of 7.3 million people – USA. From Hiroshima and Nagasaki to Iraq, the writer has methodically deconstructed the ‘image’ of the world’s biggest economy. The glossary and illustrations are helpful. The editing could have been better. The extensive research & careful wording deserve a standing ovation. It is evident author knows what he is doing.
Jenny Arora (Jahnavi), Content Writer, New Delhi –
I have heard about Osama but when I saw “USAma”, I knew there is something beyond the title. This is a 480-page book but you would find each page, let alone chapter, interesting.
Anmol Katiyar, Businessman, Lucknow, UP –
The book felt like a fiction novel. Each chapter is meticulously planned and fits right in. The content kept me hooked till end.
Akash Pawar, Student, Kolkata –
The book is a compilation of facts by the author in a brilliant and organized way. The content is appealing. Relevant pictures and tables have been used. The chapter titles are intriguing. The chapters are elaborate. The way of presentation is interesting.
Suman Tater, Blogger, Hyderabad –
Having read some of his earlier books, I can say with confidence that the author knows what he writes. He makes the content really interesting. You might have read 100’s of books across various genres but this would surely stand apart for its content and the way it is written.
Sindhu Vinod Narayan, Blogger & Book Addict, Chennai –
The title would make you presume it’s about terrorism and the name “USAma” would make you correlate with Osama bin Laden. But no, it is not the story of Osama bin Laden. With the turn of things taking place in day to day international stage, and USA trying to dominate, most people would already be reeling under the question whether US is a terrorist nation. A book that makes you aware of scenes from international stage. The book also showcases the hard work of the author that is evident from the research that has gone into topics. Writing is simple and easy to understand.
Dr. Priyaranjan Mohan, Dentist, Noida –
An outstanding book, well-researched, meticulously documented and full of facts. Author Amit Bagaria has done a great job. It is an easy read and a page turner. The book should come with a warning label because it explains everything. A must read.
Deepa Dhan, Avid Book Reader and Reviewer, Coimbatore, TN –
One of the best books I have read till date, undoubtedly. The chapters are intense & the gravity is realized only after you finish reading the entire book. Each chapter is a GEM on its own.
Naina Wadhvani, Avid Book Reader and Reviewer, Pune –
OMG! Is this book for real? Do you know what is special about US companies that make defence equipment? Do you know what taxes they pay? Do you know who occupies top positions in these companies? Were conflicts created? Yes. Though they were done with great care and perfection, these would never escape those with eagle eyes and it is not exaggerating to say that Amit has them. How many speak their minds rather than glorifying the great power?
Varshini Vinoth, Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu –
There is a detailed account of how & why wars were fought and who benefitted. The book is full of facts & figures, perfectly complimented with pictures. I loved the chapter Lily Pads. Equally interesting were Miss Universe and Soju on a Blind Date. The writing is thought provoking. Compilation of information is master class. Read the book to find out more.
Ramgopal Sood, AMAZON TOP 1000 Reviewer, Bengaluru –
This is not the usual book which you would have read in the past. Author’s style of writing is marvellous. The book has 33 interesting chapters. When I say this, I mean it. The chapters I liked the most were: POTUS 43, Lily Pads, Land of 80 Dictators, Vampires and Paprika, Java Coffee, Persian Carpets, to name a few.
Ashutosh Sinha, Teacher, Lucknow, UP –
In USAma, Amit Bagaria takes us through an outstanding journey of immoral acts carried out by USA against sovereign nations, which are mostly unknown to the people even in USA.
Alok Kumar, Law Student, Patna, Bihar –
How much do you know about the US? How much do you know about the CIA and its covert operations? This book by Amit Bagaria will give your mind the ‘reset-button hit’ you need about various nuances that relate to the US and its operations in the world in the name of peacekeeping and anti-terror crusades. A well-written and well-thought book that lets the readers realise what the realities behind the curtains are.
Manish Kumar, Financial Analyst, Bodh Gaya, Bihar –
This book exposes the lies and hypocrisy of USA. Amit Bagaria scrutinizes various perspective that we often ignore. He writes about various wars and proxy wars that America fought. Based on facts and true figures. The book is an interesting and essential read for everyone interested in world order and global politics.
Naveen Sharma, Book Reviewer, Mohali, Punjab –
A compilation of all that went wrong in the last 75 years which mainly involved the hands of USA.
Sapna Dubey, Student, Delhi –
Why did some countries disintegrate? What made nations fall into debt traps? How were people in power caught in honey traps and what were the consequences? How was torture meted out? The 480-page book would make you aware of all these points. This is a brilliant compilation ever by an author and I would give perfect rating just for this.
Sujay Koner, Blogger, Burdwan, West Bengal –
This book is a daring attempt to bring out lot of information which may or may not have been known to the public. It talks about war, price paid by the nation on which the war was declared, reasons for the war and consequences after the war. The reasons have been explained in a crystal-clear way supported by lot of evidences.
Akhilesh Kumar, Teacher, Noida, NCR –
The author claims that USA has been involved in mass murders around the world – from Hiroshima to Iraq and other countries as well. Amit Bagaria has his reasons so he presents the same to his readers. I liked the conviction with which this book is presented. Believing the facts or taking it otherwise is purely based on readers’ understanding of the situation. The book is nice and it offers a good read.
Amritanshu Ankit, Student, Patna, Bihar –
This book by Amit throws lights on the secret operations that USA does in the name of various things to hide its original agenda. The title is symbolical. The book is interesting.
Jitesh Narasimhan, Book Blogger, Bhopal, MP –
Though I don’t agree with all the opinions that Amit has proposed in his well-written book, the account of America’s hypocrisy is evident in the chapters that deal with various troubles that the USA has created in several countries. You will certainly like reading this book by Amit with all its conviction and the interesting scoops that he has offered about the inside stories of the CIA and its black ops. However, does all that prove that USA is a terrorist nation? You decide after reading the book.
Sourav Chatterjee (SC), AMAZON TOP 5000 REVIEWER, Asansol, West Bengal –
Every single detail is properly narrated in this very-well-researched book. The best part is that the book has images too. The language is simple and lucid. A must read.
Tarun Bhardwaj, Teacher, Lucknow, UP –
USAma by Amit Bagaria is a testimony to the truth that we all know but cannot publicly announce for obvious reasons. USA has been instrumental in creation of major terrorist territories in various countries and then they do the farce of fighting radical terrorism. Amit exposes the hidden and insidious side of USA in his book. USAma is also symbolic as the pun in the title is intended and tells too many stories to begin with.
Vishnu Baher (Letshaveabook), Psychologist, Delhi –
I highly suggest you this book if you love to read about international relations.
