Banana: The Fate of the Fruit That Changed the World

#622
Title: Banana: The Fate of the Fruit That Changed the World
Author: Dan Koeppel
Publisher: Plume
Year: 2008
304 pages

Much better written than Chapman's Bananas!: How The United Fruit Company Shaped the World. The story includes the same indictments as Chapman's, but is better-told, though sometimes in less depth. There is more about bananas here, and less about governments. Read both to consolidate your knowledge.
