Richard Booth Wrote:Bill Blum helped open my eyes to the true nature of geopolitics in the 20th century, when I was just 17 years old (in the late 90s.) I picked up a copy of 'Killing Hope' when browsing the history section of a Tulsa book shop. The dust jacket was missing from the book, but I was so impressed with the content that I bought the only copy anyway. I still have that all-black volume with it's stencil logo 'KILLING HOPE' stamped across the spine. It remains a reference work of great value.
It was only after I got older and the Internet became a thing that I saw the full scope of the work he did.
A researcher whose work will remain a testament.

You're a young un', Mssr. Booth. I can encapsulate Blum's thoughts/writings in some lyrics from The Moody Blues.......... "One day I hope we'll be/in perfect harmony/a planet with one mind/then I can tell you/all the things inside my head/the change in these past years/has made me see our world/in many different ways/how can I tell you/love can change our destiny/love can change the world/love can change your life/do what makes you happy/do what you know is right/and love with all your might/before it's too late" ________ 'My Song', written by Michael Pinder+ EGBDF, Threshold Records
