This study of the United Fruit Company shows how the business depended on these complicated employees, especially on acclimatizing them to life as tropical Americans.Review Quotes
Martin's readable and well-documented study reveals that the United Fruit Company was a major actor in the process of internationalization a century ago. . . . A special variant of cowboy mythology and the reassertion of the frontier mentality are prominent in the author's explanation of this crucial phase in United States expansion in Central America and the Caribbean.--John Britton, author of Cables, Crises, and the Press: The Geopolitics of the New International Information System in the Americas, 1866-1903
