Nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in Fiction Set between 1951 and 1954 on a banana plantation in Tiquisate, Guatemala, meet Connor Caine--disavowed New Orleans blue-blood turned renegade photojournalist--as he navigates Cold War politics, the 'Red Scare', and a CIA-led coup d'etat ending the Guatemalan 'Ten Years of Spring' in 1954.
