Title: Important History
Review: Both of Kinzer's books about US covert actions in the 50's (his other is Bitter Fruit, all about how the CIA engineered the downfall of the democratically elected government there that was threatening the monopolies and virtual feudal control of the United Fruit Company) cover moments in history that are coming back to haunt us. Two of today's big 'issues,' the tumult in the Middle East and Immigration, are deeply affected by these events. I highly recommend both books to anyone willing to take a warts-and-all view of American foreign policy and how the zeal to defeat Communism helped corporate interests co-op patriots and government agencies to do their dirty work.
