LIBERATION

In 1954, the C.I.A. conspired with the U.S. State Department to get rid of the democratically elected President of Guatemala.

Sixty-five years later, we tracked down all that old propaganda, plus radio recordings that previous historians had never found. Below we share the details and the data behind this incredible story.
