This is the most interesting history I have read. As a former student from the Escuela Agricola Panamericana, I totally identify myself with Zemurray's working philosophy as it was part of Zamorano's daily tuition program. Excellent book.

Good one

Great story on a fascinating character! Reads more like a novel at times and not always sure how much is true, but a entertaining and informative nonetheless.

The story that Mr. Cohen tells of Sam The Banana Man is of a complicated and consequential life. It is fascinating how much influence Sam Zemurray had on the geopolitics of the 20th century. The way that Mr.Cohen is able to tie the events of Sam's life to the broader context of the last century is incredibly compelling. I strongly recommend this book.
