Thy Will Be Done The Conquest of the Amazon: Nelson Rockefeller and Evangelism in the Age of Oil【電子書籍】[ Gerard Colby ]
<p><strong>A “blistering expos?” of the USA’s secret history of financial, political, and cultural exploitation of Latin America in the 20th century, with a new introduction (<em><strong><strong>Publishers Weekly</strong></strong></em>).</strong></p> <p>What happened when a wealthy industrialist and a visionary evangelist unleashed forces that joined to subjugate an entire continent? Historians Gerard Colby and Charlotte Dennett tell the story of the forty-year campaign led by Standard Oil scion Nelson Rockefeller and Wycliffe Bible Translators founder William Cameron Townsend to establish a US imperial beachhead in Central and South America.</p> <p>Beginning in the 1940s, future Vice President Rockefeller worked with the CIA and allies in the banking industry to prop up repressive governments, devastate the Amazon rain forest, and destabilize local economiesーall in the name of anti-Communism. Meanwhile, Townsend and his army of missionaries sought to undermine the belief systems of the region’s indigenous peoples and convert them to Christianity. Their combined efforts would have tragic and long-lasting repercussions, argue the authors of this “well-documented” (<em>Los Angeles Times</em>) bookーthe product of eighteen years of researchーwhich legendary progressive historian Howard Zinn called “an extraordinary piece of investigative history. Its message is powerful, its data overwhelming and impressive.”</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
