This week's podcast deals with the Coup in Guatemala in 1954 where the CIA backed a coup and regime change in order to prevent a communist takeover or help the United Fruit Company's bottom line depending on who you ask. The previous government had supported better working conditions and had redistributed uncultivated land away from large landholders (i.e. UFC) which triggered the United States' greatest fear at the time, communism (or possibly loss of corporate profit). Take a listen and see what you think about operation PBSuccess.
