Check out the book "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" - it's about the US playboook. It's not any better.

I got the feeling that book was fanciful, and maybe only 30% accurate and 70% fantasy. Has anyone corroborated it?

I don't doubt that the mechanics of how it's done are embellished to make a fun narrative, but the theme of tricking small nations into debt to secure a foothold is very believable to me.

I agree with that assessment. China is doing this right now with their belt and roads initiative
