American foreign policy, intervention and the long consequences of covert power drive Stephen Kinzer's international history and journalism. All the Shah's Men reconstructs the 1953 overthrow of Iran's prime minister Mohammad Mossadegh and the role of British and American intelligence. Overthrow surveys a wider history of US-backed regime change, while The Brothers examines John Foster Dulles and Allen Dulles as central figures in Cold War diplomacy and covert action. Poisoner in Chief turns to Sidney Gottlieb and CIA mind-control experiments. Kinzer's prose is accessible, narrative and strongly critical of interventionist policy, so the books are best read as argued historical interpretations rather than neutral surveys. The most useful discovery routes are US foreign-policy history, intelligence history and political non-fiction. All the Shah's Men is the clearest starting point. Read more Less
