Although informative, Bevins seems to have a pretty strong liberal bias. I can't blame him, since this book is probably an introduction to US imperialism for many folks. Ultimately, we need books that pull liberals further to the left. It does make the book harder to get through as a communist, however. If you are looking for any defense of revolutionary tactics, you will not find that here.
As I read books like this, I'm always struck by how many of these critical decisions were made by white men. There are some absolutely DERANGED quotes from US government officials, all of them white men. They somehow find a way to justify the most heinous crimes against humanity all in the name of anticommunism. Another issue I have with this book is Bevin's tendency to humanize these actions. Somehow, as long as they thought that fighting communism was the "good fight", they don't have to take accountability for their crimes. In my eyes, these men are the scum of the earth.
