Managing the Counterrevolution - The United States and Guatemala, 1954–1961

A study of the Eisenhower administration's intervention in Guatemala. It uses the concept of "counterrevolution" to trace the administration's efforts to restore US hegemony in a nation whose reform governments had antagonized US economic interests and the local elite.

Summary

Yet we know far more about the 1954 coup itself than its aftermath. This book uses the concept of “counterrevolution” to trace the Eisenhower administration’s efforts to restore U.S.
