Through the eyes of omniscience - eagle eyes!

America is a great Country - right! There is no denying it, for 200 million people who live a rich and decent life. America is fantastic. There are not many countries in the World that can stand up to its wealth, power and its radicalism.'Under the Eagle' isn't an exercise in attacking America - it isn't about that! It shows you the reality behind American Foreign Policy. Jenny Pierce with acute accuracy explains that the Latin American Countries are rich but the people are quite poor. The reason behind thier exploitation is American greed, and control. America uses the wealth of the poor for its own people. It's a great examination of American Politcs and gives you an alternative viewpoint and perspective to what you may learn from American run media and mncs from day to day.I reccomend this book to all, to all people no matter who you are, all people should buy this book.By the way, I believe it was once banned and now it's out of print. America doesn't like criticism - does it.Hope this is enough information for you all.
