William Blum (; born 6 March 1933) is an American author, historian, and critic of United States foreign policy.

==Journalism==
Blum left the State Department in 1967 and became a founder and editor of the ''Washington Free Press'', the first "alternative" newspaper in the capital. In 1969, he wrote and published an exposé of the CIA in which were revealed the names and addresses of more than 200
CIA employees. He has worked as freelance journalist in the United States, Europe and South America. In 1972-73 Blum worked as a journalist in Chile where he reported on the Allende government's "socialist experiment". In the mid-1970s, he worked in London with ex-CIA officer Philip Agee and his associates "on their project of exposing CIA personnel and their misdeeds".〔( Bill Blum's ZSpace Page ), ''Z Magazine'' online, accessed May 31, 2008.〕 He supports himself with his writing and speaking engagements on college campuses.〔
In his books and online columns, Blum devotes substantial attention to CIA interventions and assassination plots. Noam Chomsky has called Blum's book on the CIA, "far and away the best book on the topic."〔http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/20869-our-leaders-do-not-mean-well〕 He has supported Ralph Nader's presidential campaigns.〔Blum, William (On Liberals, Phil Agee, and the 9-11 Truth Movement ), ''Dissident Voice'', January 14, 2008. Accessed May 31, 2008.〕 He circulates a monthly newsletter by email called "The Anti-Empire Report". Blum has described his life's mission as: "If not ending, at least slowing down the American Empire. At least injuring the beast. It's causing so much suffering around the world."〔
