Synopsis "War"

n a blend of nonfiction and autobiographical fiction, Miles "Cotton" Marlowe shares information on U.S.-sponsored wars, coups, and regime changes. He illuminates little-known truths about U.S. history-"Operation Ajax" in 1953 when the U.S., along with the Brits, overthrew the freely elected president of Iran, beginning our toxic relationship with the Middle East. He details, with declassified documents, the first 9/11 in 1973-a CIA coup in Chile-and how a U.S. corporation took control of the banana industry in Colombia and Guatemala.Marlowe touches on the importance of Liberation Theology to Latin America's poverty-stricken peasants, and he broaches the subject of the International Criminal Court-of which the U.S. is not a member. In the 1960s, the "American Dream" began to vanish. Young men and women volunteered or were drafted and headed to Vietnam believing that they were to fight communism as they spread peace and democracy. At that same time, there was a domestic war here on the U.S. home front-marked by assassinations, race riots, and anti-war protests. Marlowe's powerful character, Aunt Mary Parker, shares political and social insights from her time in Cuba and El Salvador. Then there's the family maid, Annie Pearl, who delves deeply into racism and injustice in the Deep South. Cotton Marlowe's revealing work endeavors to enlighten the reader as he pulls back the curtain on U.S. history.
