Why this story, why now?
The true story has never been told until now.
The United States made Noriega. When he stopped serving their interests, they dismantled his regime and devastated a nation to erase their own fingerprints. This is not just the story of one dictator or one regime. It is a blueprint for how the empire that is the United States and the CIA creates a leader, uses them, and discards them. From Latin America to the Middle East to Southeast Asia, the CIA has empowered strongmen, exploited their rule for strategic gain, and erased them when the American interest had been served. This book shows what happens when that system reaches its breaking point, and why the same playbook is still in use today, all across the world.
