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.

Cute and stylish bracelet
I recently purchased the Sterling Silver 14K Gold-Plated Clover Bracelet with the Mother of Pearl four-leaf charm, and I couldn't be happier with my choice! First off, the design is just lovely; the combination of the silver and gold plating adds a touch of elegance, while the charm really stands out with its beautiful, iridescent finish. It catches the light beautifully and feels both delicate and durable at the same time.
I was drawn to this bracelet because itβs not just a piece of jewelry; it symbolizes good luck, which I thought would make a nice gift for a friend. When I received it, I realized it would also make a fantastic addition to my own collection! The size is just right, and itβs comfortable to wear all day long without any irritation, which can sometimes be a concern with bracelets.
My friend loved it and appreciated the thoughtful gesture. Itβs the kind of gift that feels personal and meaningful. Overall, Iβd say this bracelet is a charming piece that combines style and a bit of luck, making it a wonderful treat for yourself or a special gift for someone else. I highly recommend it!
