Publisher's Synopsis
To check the spread of revolution in Latin America in 1961, Kennedy proposed the Alliance for Progress - a program for free trade and development in the Americas. Che Guevara, described by Time magazine as Cuba's scraggle-bearded economic czar' condemned the plan as a new strategy to subjugate the continent to US interests. Includes previously unpublished material, such as Che's televised speech outlining the issues raised by the Alliance.'
