The Banana Men: American Mercenaries and Entrepreneurs in Central America, 1880-1930 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780813108360)

Ambitious entrepreneurs, isthmian politicians, and mercenaries who dramatically altered Central America's political culture, economies, and even its traditional social values populate this lively story of a generation of North and Central Americans and their roles in the transformation of Central America from the late nineteenth century until the onset of the Depression. The Banana Men is a study of modernization, its benefits, and its often frightful costs.
