Confessions of an Economic Hit Man By John Perkins

1 sentence: This is one damn good book! I read it from start to finish, mesmerised by the idea of economic hit men and how the most powerful country in the world, the United States of America, manipulates poor countries and wring them dry of their oil supplies. John Perkins is able to hold my attention throughout the book and I think it is due to his frank and honest style of presenting his story. This is one good expose that promises to lead you into the world behind the scenes of the Iraq war, the current situations in Equador and Idonesia. However I feel that it is quite sad that nobody is doing anything much to stop these greedy agendas, although John Perkins does try to do a bit, but against such a goliath enemy, I think it is going to be an uphill task.
Informative and interesting read. I give it 8.5/10! MUST READ! ;)
