Thy Will Be Done

In this compelling exposé, historians Gerard Colby and Charlotte Dennett uncover the hidden financial, political, and cultural exploitation of Latin America by the United States in the mid-20th century. They document a 40-year campaign orchestrated by influential figures like Nelson Rockefeller and William Cameron Townsend, who leveraged their power to support oppressive regimes, devastate the environment, and reshape local economies under the guise of anti-Communism and evangelism. This well-researched work, described as "extraordinary" by historian Howard Zinn, sheds light on the profound and lasting impact of these actions on the continent.
