Counterrevolution: U.S. Foreign Policy

Counterrevolution: U.S. Foreign Policy critically examines the history and motives behind United States military, political, and economic interventions throughout the twentieth century. Written by Marxist economists and firsthand observers Edward and Regula Boorstein, the book argues that post-World War II U.S. foreign policy systematically targeted nationalist, socialist, and social-reform movements worldwide to safeguard corporate interests and maintain geopolitical dominance. Drawing on historical analysis and Edward Boorstein's own experiences working in revolutionary Cuba and Salvador Allende's Chile, the authors trace this ongoing counterrevolutionary strategy across major global flashpoints, including Guatemala, Nicaragua, Vietnam, and Iran.
