This book made me deeply ashamed of myself. I grew up in the Vietnam years, and I discovered when reading it that I didn't know anywhere near what I thought I did about America's involvement in this conflict. Much less all of the other ways and times we invaded or otherwise overthrew foreign governments. The other deeply disturbing realization is the extent of involvement of U.S. businesses in destabilizing other governments in order to protect their markets. This should be required reading in high school and college history classes.
