The Dulles Brothers: Architects of a Shadow War

John Foster Dulles, a brilliant lawyer and devout Presbyterian, emerged as a key figure in shaping American foreign policy. As Secretary of State under President Eisenhower, he pursued a hardline stance against communism, believing it to be an existential threat to the United States.

Allen Dulles, his younger brother, was a master spymaster. As Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, he oversaw a vast network of covert operations, including the overthrow of governments, the assassination of foreign leaders, and the manipulation of elections.

The Cold War Battleground: Proxy Wars and Secret Operations

The Dulles brothers' vision of a global anti-communist crusade led them to embark on a series of secret wars, often using CIA-backed paramilitary forces. They orchestrated coups in Iran and Guatemala, supported anti-communist rebels in Vietnam and Afghanistan, and engaged in covert operations in Cuba and the Congo.

These clandestine actions had far-reaching consequences, fueling regional conflicts, undermining democratic institutions, and creating a climate of fear and instability around the world.

The Ideological Roots of Their Warmongering

The Dulles brothers' fanatical anti-communism was rooted in their religious beliefs and their deep distrust of the Soviet Union. They saw the Cold War as a cosmic struggle between good and evil, where any means were justified to defeat the enemy.

Their ideology led them to embrace policies that violated international law and human rights, including the use of torture and the assassination of political opponents. They also pursued an aggressive policy of nuclear brinkmanship, threatening to use atomic weapons to deter communist aggression.

The Legacy of the Dulles Brothers

The Dulles brothers' secret world war had a profound impact on the course of history. Their covert operations helped to shape the Cold War landscape, creating new conflicts and exacerbating existing ones.

Their legacy continues to be debated today, with some historians condemning them for their warmongering and others arguing that their actions were necessary to contain the spread of communism. David Talbot's book provides a comprehensive and nuanced account of their lives and work, shedding new light on this enigmatic duo and their role in the darkest chapters of American foreign policy.
