A joint biography of John Foster Dulles and Allen Dulles, who led the United States into an unseen war that decisively shaped today's world
During the 1950s, when the Cold War was at its peak, two immensely powerful brothers led the United States into a series of foreign adventures whose effects are still shaking the world. John Foster Dulles was secretary of state while his brother, Allen Dulles, was director of the Central Intelligence Agency. In this book, Stephen Kinzer places their extraordinary lives against the background of American culture and history. He uses the framework of biography to ask: Why does the United States behave as it does in the world? The Brothers explores hidden forces that shape the national psyche, from religious piety to Western movies-many of which are about a noble gunman who cleans up a lawless town by killing bad guys. This is how the Dulles brothers saw themselves, and how many Americans still see their country's role in the world. Propelled by a quintessentially American set of fears and delusions, the Dulles brothers launched violent campaigns against foreign leaders they saw as threats to the United States. These campaigns helped push countries from Guatemala to the Congo into long spirals of violence, led the United States into the Vietnam War, and laid the foundation for decades of hostility between the United States and countries from Cuba to Iran. The story of the Dulles brothers is the story of America. It illuminates and helps explain the modern history of the United States and the world.

Keeps dogs busy.
Color: Orange
The dogs love this ball. They are afraid when it vibrates but as soon as it jumps and moves around, they are on it. They will play with it for quite awhile. Charge lasts for a long time. Very durable. This dog can tear anything apart but it's still in one piece.

Good for smaller jawed dogs.
Color: Orange
This ball is so much fun for our 5 month old. He both chases it and lets it bounce in his mouth. This was after playing with it already for 10 minutes. The ball charges with a usb charger and lasts for a long time. I do take it away to keep the toy fresh and prevent him from just chewing on it. I will say the ball startles you a bit when it turns on in your hand. Happy with a different toy.

Extremely durable, highly recommended!!
Color: Orange
This ball was a game changer for us!! I rehomed an extremely needy 110 pound one and a half year-old male Rott. This ball has been keeping him engaged for hours giving a much-needed break to me.😜 it actually stays charged a lot longer than I thought it would, and so far he is not chewed through it at all, which is incredible to me!! I think I’m gonna order another one so that I can have one charging while he plays with one and then switch off with them.

A hit for Border Collies
Color: Blue
Our border collie loves this toy! Keeps him entertained and when he throws it down it doesn't break open. Going strong for a couple days so far.
