(The Brothers; John Foster Dulles and Allen Dulles, Their Secret World War)

Stephen Kinzer gave lecture on his book with same name at book signing ceremony

held in Scranton University. 

Dulles brothers served Eisenhower administration in1950's. Foster was the Secretary of

State and Allen the head of CIA. Foster was 7 year older than Allen. Allen planned and

carried out many covert operations in Soviet satellite countries, medeast, south America,

and Africa. US got some short trem gratifications, but most of them left long term effects

that are damaging US national interests. Iran and mideast are good example. It is surprising

to find out their decision to get involved in Vietnam, when France and Winston Churchill

gave up because they concluded that they could not defeat Hochiming.

CIA gave money directly or indirectly through American businessmen to influence politicians 

in free world countries. It employed journalist as an agent to manipulate public opinion.

Thr author of the book quotes, “the brothers never expected Blowback”.
