- Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2005I have not read this book yet, but after reading the review "ideological scholarship" I plan on it. I have read almost all of the books that reviewer paulsrb uses to support his case that Susanne Jonas has misconstrued the truth, and he misrepresents all of them.Piero Gleijeses gives a compelling argument against Arbenz' involvement in Arana's death, and states on page 84 that Arbenz "would have won even had the elections been copmpletely free."
From reading the works of Immerman and Gleijeses, I believe they would agree with Jonas that Guatemala's direction under Arbenz was towards a Nationalist, Capitalist government. They both state in their books that the CIA coup was, at least in part, in the interests of United Fruit, who's president of PR was married to Eisenhower's personal secretary, and on which's Board of Directors had sat the Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles. Dulles' brother, Allen Dulles, Director of the CIA who instituted the coup, worked for a law firm who represented the interests of United Fruit.
Clearly the reviewer paulsrb has a political agenda of his own. I can only guess that Immerman, Gleijeses, and I'm sure Jonas, would take offense to his gross misinterpretations of their work. I know I did. I look forward to reading...
- Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2009I WAS REALLY SATISFIED WITH MY PURCHASE, ON TIME AND THE BOOK IS AN ALMOST PERFECT CONDITION. FOR THE PRICE I PAID, IM A 1OOO TIMES GREATFUL. WILL USE A AGAIN
- Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2017Comprehensive analysis of the Guatemalan civil war, very informative and reliable. The biggest drawback is that it's a bit old in terms of content.
