Reader reviews for Overthrow

Review summary

This seller has earned a 4.60 of 5 Stars rating from internet customers.
4.60 / 5 (5 total reviews)

Readers see a sharp critique of U.S. foreign policy that challenges the 'good guys' narrative. They appreciate the concision but fault the narrow scope, wishing it explored interventionism beyond regime change; the tight focus comes at the expense of depth.

From the publisher

From the author of Boiling Point, Overthrow provides a fast-paced narrative history of the coups, revolutions, and invasions by which the United States has toppled fourteen foreign governments --not always to its own benefit

"Detailed, passionate and convincing . . . [with] the pace and grip of a good thriller." --Anatol Lieven, The New York Times Book Review

"Regime change" did not begin with the administration of George W. Bush, but has been an integral part of U.S. foreign policy for more than one hundred years. Starting with the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy in 1893 and continuing through the Spanish-American War and the Cold War and into our own time, the United States has not hesitated to overthrow governments that stood in the way of its political and economic goals. The invasion of Iraq in 2003 is the latest, though perhaps not the last, example of the dangers inherent in these operations.

In Overthrow, Stephen Kinzer tells the stories of the audacious politicians, spies, military commanders, and business executives who took it upon themselves to depose monarchs, presidents, and prime ministers. He also shows that the U.S. government has often pursued these operations without understanding the countries involved; as a result, many of them have had disastrous long-term consequences.

In a compelling and provocative history that takes readers to fourteen countries, including Cuba, Iran, South Vietnam, Chile, and Iraq, Kinzer surveys modern American history from a new and often surprising perspective.
