A new book by Greg Mitchell reveals the secret history of the Dulles brothers and their role in shaping the Cold War.

John Foster Dulles and Allen Dulles were two of the most powerful men in the United States during the Cold War. John Foster Dulles was Secretary of State under President Dwight D. Eisenhower, and Allen Dulles was the director of the CIA. Together, they played a key role in shaping American foreign policy during one of the most dangerous periods in history.

In his new book, The Brothers Dulles: America's Secret World War, Greg Mitchell reveals the secret history of the Dulles brothers. Mitchell draws on extensive research, including interviews with family members, friends, and colleagues of the Dulles brothers. He also gained access to previously classified documents.

Mitchell's book paints a portrait of two complex and ambitious men. John Foster Dulles was a brilliant lawyer and diplomat. He was also a devout Christian who believed that the United States had a moral obligation to lead the world in the fight against communism. Allen Dulles was a shrewd intelligence officer who was willing to use any means necessary to achieve his goals.

The Dulles brothers played a key role in the Cold War. They helped to create the CIA and the National Security Council. They also played a key role in the development of the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan. These policies helped to contain the spread of communism and to rebuild Europe after World War II.

However, the Dulles brothers also made some serious mistakes. They underestimated the threat posed by the Soviet Union. They also supported a number of covert operations that backfired, such as the Bay of Pigs invasion. These mistakes helped to prolong the Cold War and to increase the risk of nuclear war.

The Brothers Dulles is a fascinating and important book. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the history of the Cold War.
