Description: Bitter Fruit is a comprehensive and insightful account of the CIA operation to overthrow the democratically elected government of Jacobo Arbenz of Guatemala in 1954. This book has become a classic, a textbook case of the relationship between the U.S. and the Third World. It is a warning of what happens when the U.S. abuses its power.

Review Quotes: Schlesinger and Kinzer have done the greatest service to truth and justice by presenting the untold story of the CIA coup.--Carlos Fuentes
