Book News Annotation:

A gallery of American and Central American rogues exploit puppet regimes, revolutions, shady capital, cheap labor, US gunships, and anything else not nailed down. Here is the foundation underlying the economic and political conditions of Central America today, the current overt and covert relations between the US and Central American governments, and familiar fortunes and conglomerates with tidied-up public relations images.
