Confessions of an Economic Hitman by John Perkins

This book the autobiography of a man who worked for a Haliburton-esque consulting/construction company in the 1980s. He tells his story of brokering famous deals in the Middle East and Central America. I think that calling this a "Confession" is accurate, as it is hard to believe anything in the book other than that the author feels guilty. His stories seem exaggerated and the danger he expresses being in seems like paranoia. A must-read for conspiracy theorists, this book is skippable by anyone who is looking for a real description of the United States' economic responsibility within world events. Gold star to anyone who recommends a good alternative that covers the same material.
