Title: Yes, a Great Book
Review: I can confirm the previous positive reviews of this book. US foreign policy is exposed in detail in this work. These were crucial years (1944-1954) in twentieth century Guatemala, and the US played a decisive and destructive role. After the US intervention, Guatemala experienced a long series of brutal dictatorships backed by the US, which culminated in civil war in the 1970s and 1980s. Any student of Latin America or US foreign policy would greatly benefit by reading Gleijeses's book.
