Washington, December 12 (RHC)-- In the U.S., independent journalist and author William Blum has died at the age of 85 at a hospice in Virginia.
Early in his career, Blum worked with computers at the U.S. State Department but left after becoming disillusioned with the U.S. war of aggression against Vietnam.
Blum co-founded the underground paper, the Washington Free Press. His books “Killing Hope” and “Rogue State” were widely praised for their detailed history of recent U.S. foreign policy.
William Blum said of his work: “The thesis in my books and my writing is that anti-American terrorism arises from the behavior of U.S. foreign policy. It is what the U.S. government does which angers people all over the world.”
