Spellbinding modern history
This book is spellbinding like a novel and a must read for anyone interested in Post World War II history. It is the story of America's march to dominate world politics and commerce told by an insider, a man who was there when the deals were struck. Although he may upset readers who want to believe that our leaders always wear white hats, the author's stated and obvious intent is to educate. In the end, he helps us see a way to realize America's Founding Fathers' dream of "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" for all people everywhere. A chilling, yet ultimately positive and encouraging, narrative.
