Overthrow

Stephen Kinzer

A fascinating historical account of how the United States has orchestrated fourteen coups, revolutions, and invasions to overthrow foreign governments. From the Spanish-American War to the invasion of Iraq, the US has taken down leaders in the pursuit of political and economic goals. However, these operations have often had disastrous long-term consequences due to a lack of understanding of the countries involved. Stephen Kinzer takes readers on a thrilling journey to fourteen countries, recounting the audacious politicians, spies, military commanders, and business executives who orchestrated these regime changes.
