A joint biography of John Foster Dulles and Allen Dulles, who led the United States into an unseen war that decisively shaped today's world

During the 1950s, when the Cold War was at its peak, two immensely powerful brothers led the United States into a series of foreign adventures whose effects are still shaking the world.

John Foster Dulles was secretary of state while his brother, Allen Dulles, was director of the Central Intelligence Agency. In this book, Stephen Kinzer places their extraordinary lives against the background of American culture and history. He uses the framework of biography to ask: Why does the United States behave as it does in the world?

The Brothers explores hidden forces that shape the national psyche, from religious piety to Western movies-many of which are about a noble gunman who cleans up a lawless town by killing bad guys. This is how the Dulles brothers saw themselves, and how many Americans still see their country's role in the world.

Propelled by a quintessentially American set of fears and delusions, the Dulles brothers launched violent campaigns against foreign leaders they saw as threats to the United States. These campaigns helped push countries from Guatemala to the Congo into long spirals of violence, led the United States into the Vietnam War, and laid the foundation for decades of hostility between the United States and countries from Cuba to Iran.

The story of the Dulles brothers is the story of America. It illuminates and helps explain the modern history of the United States and the world.

These are great shirts
Color: White, Size: XX-Large
These are very good shirts. Good quality, good material. The size descriptions are accurate, so they're a great fit. The stitching and buttons reflect good quality, the buttons are good and secure, too. I highly recommend these shirts.

Fit fail
Color: Red, Size: Large
I don't like to give bad reviews but I will at least give an honest review. I purchased this shirt in red and was pleased with the color once I received it. My problem was, that when I tried the shirt on, the fit was good but the collar noticably too big for the shirt size. Looked like something from the '70's. I returned the shirt.

Solid shirt for the price — looks sharp and fits great
Color: Light Grey, Size: 3X-Large
I picked up this COOFANDY long sleeve shirt for work and casual wear, and overall I’m really happy with it. The fit is true to size and it’s not too tight or too loose — just a clean, regular fit that looks good on its own or tucked in. The material feels comfortable and not overly stiff, which is nice since I wear it all day. It has a crisp look but still feels soft enough to wear without feeling like you’re in a dress shirt all day. The stitching and buttons seem strong, and the shirt holds up well after washing without shrinking or losing shape. I also like that it’s easy to iron (or even just hang up right after drying) and it still looks presentable. The collar stays in place and the overall style is simple and classic, so it works for interviews, work, or even going out. For the price, this shirt is a great value. It looks more expensive than it is, and I’d definitely buy another color. If you’re looking for a reliable everyday dress shirt that fits well and looks clean, this is a solid option.
