Review # 1 was written on 2014-02-12 00:00:00 Johnny Jenkins Detailing the heavy involvement of the US in the military coup against Chile's democratically elected president Salvador Allende, Lubna Qureshi refutes US claims that this was to counter communist threats posed by a leftist president in the western hemisphere & proves with evidence that the real reason behind the US involvement was economic & of course the everlasting imperialistic ideology that US administrations never lose. It also sheds some light on the role played by large US corporations in overthrowing any government that would pose a threat to their interests & how strongly these corps. influence & sometimes control US foreign policy. Important book for everyone interested in US policy pattern & scheme.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-09-22 00:00:00 Cory Seeseequon I'm going to be generous here because I'm so happy this book was written. It is loaded with missing words (outside the quoted menos and recordings, which are often shortened) and editing errors that sometimes made it hard to read through. I sometimes spent more time saying to myself "wait, I missed something...right?" than I did actually reading. But was this information absolutely necessary to read? YES! 100 times YES! For anyone who thinks corruption in America just started a few years ago, read this and see some of the shifty shit we've done. See American government officials plot and work to influence foreign elections, help to arm radicals when they get their way, and incite a coup d'état to help capitalist interests! Not the best to read because of the sloppy editing for me, but still worth reading.
