Autorentext
Lester D. Langley is professor of history at the University of Georgia. He is the author of The Cuban Policy of the United States: A Brief History, Struggle for the American Mediterranean: United States-European Rivalry in the Gulf-Caribbean, 1776-1904, and The United States and the Caribbean, 1900-1970.

Klappentext
Ambitious entrepreneurs, isthmian politicians, and mercenaries who dramatically altered Central America's political culture, economies, and even its traditional social values populate this lively story of a generation of North and Central Americans and their roles in the transformation of Central America from the late nineteenth century until the onset of the Depression. The Banana Men is a study of modernization, its benefits, and its often frightful costs.

Zusammenfassung
"A poem is best read in the light of all the other poems ever written."
