The Fish That Ate the Whale: The Life and Times of America's Banana King by Rich Cohen

4.0

---

A good source of history about the banana companies in Central America. It captures the traits that Zemurray had that lead to his rise in the banana industry, but at times it makes Zemurray sound like the protagonist instead of the antagonist; one who exploited the countries where he had plantations. Overall, interesting and well written narrative.
