Gerard Colby

The most detailed description anyone will ever need to have of the deadly confluence of the Rockefellers' insatiable desire for oil and resources, the CIA's fanatical drive for US political hegemony, and the Christian Fundamentalists' lust for souls, and what it did to an entire continent's land and peoples for most of a century. Academics should pay great attention to exactly how linguists, anthropologists, sociologists, botanists and geologists were recruited to participate in terrorism show more and genocide. Saddest of all is the lingering idea that even with all the remarkable political changes in the last decade in Latin America, and now in the Middle East, the bad old days have not gone away for good, and the same interests: financial, corporate, military and "soldiers of the Lord" may be coming together again in a last stand for the re-taking of a 'lost' hemisphere, with America's insatiable demand for both energy and drugs as the driving force. US global power, both soft and hard, may be in irreversible decline, but the question this book forces you to ask is: how much will it take with it before it goes down for good? show less

A basically negative book. Don't waste your time on this one.
