Summary:
A fast-paced narrative history of the coups, revolutions, and invasions by which the United States has toppled fourteen foreign governments---not always to its own benefit.In Overthrow , Stephen Kinzer tells the stories of the audacious politicians, spies, military commanders, and business executives who took it upon themselves to depose monarchs, presidents, and prime ministers. He also shows that the U.S. government has often pursued these operations without understanding the countries involved; as a result, many of them have had disastrous long-term consequences.
