A face of god aDuring the 1950s, when the Cold War was at its peak, two immensely powerful brothers led the United States into a series of foreign adventures whose effects are still shaking the world. John Foster Dulles was secretary of state while his brother, Allen Dulles, was director of the C.I.A. In The Brothers, Stephen Kinzer uses their biographies to ask: Why does the United States behave as it does in the world? Propelled by a quintessentially American set of fears and delusions, the Dulles brothers launched violent campaigns against foreign leaders they saw as threats. Their campaigns led to the Vietnam War, helped push countries from Guatemala to the Congo into long spirals of violence, and laid the foundation for decades of hostility between the United States and countries including Cuba and Iran14aDulles, John Foster, d1888-195914aDulles, Allen, d1893-1969 10aUnited States.bCentral Intelligence AgencyxOfficials and employeesvBiography.14aEstados Unidos. bAgencia Central de Inteligencia xEmpleados 0aStatesmenzUnited StatesvBiography. 4aEstadistas vBiografías zEstados Unidos 0aSpieszUnited StatesvBiography. 4aEspías zEstados Unidos. 0aCabinet officerszUnited StatesvBiography. 0aIntelligence servicezUnited StatesxHistoryy20th century. 4aServicio de inteligencia zEstados UnidosxHistoria ySiglo XX 0aUnited StatesxForeign relationsy1953-1961. 4aEstados Unidos xRelaciones exteriores
