Caída de un régimen

"Reprint of detailed examination of events surrounding 1944 overthrow of Guatemalan president Jorge Ubico, focusing on 108-day Federico Ponce Vaides regime and based on newspapers and 'what I personally saw.' Author, among students who made contact with Honor Guard, understands chief political contradiction between wartime Allied goals and internal repression. Claims he never imagined events would go as far as they did"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
