Stephen Kinzer and Stephen Schlesinger did not set out to write a classic. They set out to write a fast-paced and highly readable narrative of the overthrow of Guatemala's democratic government by the United States in 1954. They also hoped to convince their readers of the need for what Harrison Salisbury in his 1982 introduction called "a basic reapprasial of American policy in the Western Hemisphere".
For generations of U.S. citizens and countless college students, Bitter Fruit helped to place the bitter conflicts of the 1980's in historical context. Walter Lafeber's history of the U.S. Central American relations, aplty tittled Inevitable Revolutions, provided a much needed critical survey, but Bitter Fruit provided the depth that only a case study can offer. Bitter Fruit helped to inspire debate among scholars and practitioners about the motivations or causes of the U.S. intervention to overthrow the Arbenz government. |
