Reddit reviews The Brothers: John Foster Dulles, Allen Dulles, and Their Secret World War: John Foster Dulles, Allen Dulles, and Their Secret World War

Great contribution, thanks for that. If anyone would like to know how these societal weaknesses have been exploited before check out The Brothers: John Foster Dulles, Allen Dulles, and Their Secret World War by Stephen Kinzer.

Among other things it goes into the CIA overthrow of the democratic governments of Iran and Guatemala, and the failed operations in the communist governments of Cuba and Vietnam. Turns out it's easier to set up rogue agents in Democratic governments because they're tolerant to outside ideas. In Communist governments they shut down all dissent, and it's much harder to overthrow those systems.

Those who don't study their history are doomed to repeat it, and we're getting put through the ringer right now.

Anything by Noam Chomsky, Chris Hedges, Naomi Prins or Stephen Kinzer will point you in the right direction.

Check out the Dulles Brothers.

They essentially founded the CIA and State Department. They worked on behalf of a lobbying firm (law firm), Sullivan & Cromwell, whose clients were among the largest corporations of the world at the time, and also included Nazi Germany.

Was it this book by any chance? It makes for enjoyable bathroom reading.

I won't tell you that this book has all the answers or any of that, but if you want to read a book that will shed a lot of light on the topic of how American foreign policy developed in the 20th century, this book is about two of the most influential humans in our history.

I just finished and really enjoyed The Brothers (http://www.amazon.com/The-Brothers-Foster-Dulles-Secret/dp/0805094970) by Steven Kinzer. It details the formation of the CIA after WWII, Eisenhower's penchant and support for covert ops, and gives amazing details on a number of specific coups during the cold war.

The founder of the CIA and his brother, Secretary of State were Calvinists. Explains a hell of a lot. . .

It's one thing to believe everyone is going to hell. It's quite another to have the power to make sure that many innocents are forced into a living hell through your own actions.
