In their time, they wielded earth-shattering power, but today they are largely forgotten. Yet no book about either brother has been published in this century. I have also been interested in other operations the Dulles brothers directed, in places from Vietnam to the Congo. Visiting those two countries, I could see the terrible effects of these operations. Later I wrote All the Shah’s Men, about another Dulles operation, the overthrow of democracy in Iran. Years ago I published Bitter Fruit, a book about the CIA’s overthrow of the democratic government of Guatemala in 1954 that operation was conceived, planned and executed by the Dulles brothers. I have been crossing paths with these extraordinary brothers for much of my career. What sparked your interest in the Dulles brothers?
