The Banana Empire Dr. Richard Edgar Zwez

The Banana Empire is the fascinating description of life under the power of the United Fruit Company (now Chiquita) and the Standard Fruit Company (now Dole). These rich and mighty companies greatly dominated life in Central America and the Caribbean. Many books and articles have been written about these powerful companies but none have exposed personal existence with the sure hand of someone who lived under their colossal influence like Banana Empire has achieved.
