Sommario/riassunto |
|
Presenting an account of the massive US covert intervention in British Guiana between 1953 and 1969. Considering race, gender, religion, and ethnicity, with traditional approaches to diplomatic history, this analysis of the Cold War tragedy serves as a needed corrective to interpretations that depict the Cold War as an unsullied US triumph. |
