La CIA: Una Historia Negra: Intervenciones de la CIA desde la segunda guerra mundial

Is the United States a force for democracy? This overview of US foreign policy presents an impressive catalog of cases showing how, since World War II, the CIA has helped engineer the downfall of legitimate, democratically elected governments throughout the world. Covering US interventions in more than fifty countries, this book describes the grim role played by the United States in overthrowing governments, perverting elections, assassinating leaders, suppressing revolutions, manipulating trade unions, and manufacturing “news.”

Reviews

[Jordison Francisco · Rating 5 out of 5]

The book of our own history.

A mini encyclopedia of U.S. "foreign intervention."
Howard Zinnn "A People's History"
Chomsky "Manufacturing Consent"
Brian Glick "The War at Home"
Nhat Hanh "Creating True Peace"

A most important source study book and consider it one of the most important books written. Mainly it shows that the United States is not concerned with the welfare of the world as a whole but only concerned as to how it can control the world so it can theive the world's riches.
