Originally published in 1914, this examination of The United Fruit Company in Central America and the incredible power it held over whole nations has many insights into turn of the century economic imperialism as well as gleanings into the Central American Republics, Columbia and Cuba. In recent American history, the United Fruit Company is among those enterprises most closely identified with Yankee Imperialism in Latin America. Founded in 1899, they grew to become the largest employer in Central America by 1930, having been granted vast tracts of jungle to clear and develop by friendly governments. The book includes many photographs.
