À propos de ce contenu audio
In 1954, a small Central American nation became the testing ground for a new kind of power. Guatemala was not invaded by armies in the traditional sense. There was no formal declaration of war, no clear front line, no obvious foreign takeover. Instead, a democratically elected government was dismantled through pressure, propaganda, proxies, and fear. The operation had a name that sounded clinical and harmless. Its effects were anything but.
Operation PBSUCCESS reveals how a country can be brought to its knees without tanks rolling down the capital’s streets. It is the story of how land, fruit, and foreign corporate influence collided with Cold War anxiety to create a perfect storm. Guatemala’s president, Jacobo Árbenz, attempted to challenge a centuries-old structure of inequality through land reform and national sovereignty. For millions of ordinary Guatemalans, it represented hope. For powerful interests inside and outside the country, it represented danger.
