This book should be required reading for all Americans. I have a background in history, and yet so much of this book's narrative was new to me. It is an incredibly dark, and depressing story, but it is well written and unflinching in its characterization of the violence that billions of people lived through, and that the United States supported.

I know why we didn't learn about this in school but, yikes, I can't believe we didn't learn about this in school.

A very important book for anyone looking to learn more about the real history of the Cold War and Washington’s violent interference in developing Third World countries. This book is very well written and takes you through the lives of those who experienced unimaginable atrocities in the Cold War era. I cannot recommend this enough.
