Bolivia: Records of the U.S. Department of State, 1960-1963

The backstory to this archive revolves around the rise of the Nationalist Revolutionary Movement (MNR), which emerged as a broadly based party. Documents in this collection offer insight into the U.S. state department during the Cold War. Examples include analysis of labor union leadership and its relationship to Communists ���united in opposition��� and attempting to impose a ���Fascist regime in Bolivia.��� Periodicals such as Prescenia and El Diario are characterized as ���organs at service of Communists��� (December 1960).
