en mayo de 1954 se efectuo el I Congreso contra la Intervencion Sovietica en America Latina. El discurso anticomunista desplegado, manifiesto en su doctrina y praxis, fue el preambulo de la invasion liberacionista que depuso al presidente de Guatemala Jacobo Arbenz Guzman. Estudio pionero en la tematica, para este articulo se revisaron exhaustivamente los documentos de la Agencia Central de Inteligencia y los textos de autores que han estudiado el tema. Se privilegia tanto el ejercicio politico de estos agentes como la consolidacion de sus ideas y materiales en el devenir historico de este pais. Se concluye que su protagonismo se establecio como un hito en los entrecruces e interacciones con los sujetos y grupos latinoamericanos, afines a su ideologia, en el periodo que se inserto la region en el conflicto ideologico global.
