Description

This fascinating work tells the story of the United Fruit Company, one of the most powerful and controversial corporations of the early 20th century. The author traces the company's rise to dominance in the fruit industry, its expansion into Latin America, and its role in shaping the political and economic landscape of the region. He also provides a candid assessment of the company's impact on the people and environment of the tropics. The book is a compelling account of corporate power and its effects on society.
