Until now, there has not been a historical study on attache proficiency, their training and education, or utilization of their reports by policy makers in Washington. An analytical framework is used to test the capability of this intelligence gathering system and applied in the case studies of: Guatemala, 1950-1954, Cuba, 1954-1958 and Bolivia 1960-1964. |
