The remarkable documentary about Foster Dulles and Allen Dulles, two American patriots who were key movers in the Eisenhower era. Together they were instrumental in inspiring and enacting the American foreign policy of intervention, bullying and deposing of governments in developing countries. The overt policies of Foster Dulles who was Secretary of State worked hand in hand with the top-secret tactics of brother Allen. Remarkably, using the over-inflated threat of world communist takeover as the rationale, they blatantly intervened to influence political people and events in countries with which they deemed the USA had significant business interests.
The book goes into intimate details about campaigns, over and covert, to overthrow and blatantly push for American outcomes in Guatemala, Iran, Congo, Indonesia, Cuba.
Tactics included buying political allegiance with millions of dollars approved by Eisenhower, all top secret; supporting alternate leaders with money, false news stories and actual false content; manipulating the local playing field in whatever way possible; and ultimately participating in the direct assassination of a leader (Congo's Lumumba).
By playing upon and building up the fears of the people and members of congress with regard to communism, and with Eisenhower in agreement directing this secret choir of bullies, the Dulles brothers were given billions of dollars in resources to play their weird game of chess.
