Secret History: The CIA's Classified Account of Its Operations in Guatemala 1952-1954. Тайная история: секретный отчет ЦРУ о его операциях в Гватемале 1952-1954 гг. Ник Каллатер (Nick Cullather) ; Stanford University Press

In 1992, the Central Intelligence Agency hired the young historian Nick Cullather to write a history (classified "secret" and for internal distribution only) of the Agency's Operation PBSUCCESS, which overthrew the lawful government of Guatemala in 1954. Given full access to the Agency's archives, he produced a vivid insider's account, intended as a training manual for covert operators, detailing how the C. I. A. chose targets, planned strategies, and organized the mechanics of waging a secret war. In 1997, during a brief period of open disclosure, the C. I. A. declassified the history with remarkably few substantive deletions. The New York Times called it "an astonishingly frank account. which may be a high-water mark in the agency's openness. " Here is that account, with new notes by the author which clarify points in the history and add newly available information.
