Im glad you asked!
The book details (heavily sourced) many of the CIA- backed coups in Latin America the past decades. Pundits like nostr:npub1trr5r2nrpsk6xkjk5a7p6pfcryyt6yzsflwjmz6r7uj7lfkjxxtq78hdpu at the HRF
seem to serve a similar purpose as a weapon under the guise of "foreign aid" just as USAID and the NED have historically been.
And if you read the book, youll notice Gladstein uses alllll the same language and propaganda methods that have always been used to justify covert regime change.
And its not even so covert anymore. At all. Maybe he really IS naive and dumb enough to believe what he says. But I dont believe it
