The article focuses on the book "Banana Gold," by Carleton Beals. The book tells of two journeys into Central America, the second undertaken a few years ago to visit Sandino, then conducting an active snipers' war against U.S. marines of in Nicaragua. Beals approached the camp of Sandino from Honduras, bearing letters of introduction. Ingeniously, he decided that the way to make these letters least likely to be read or confiscated en route was to carry them in an envelope closed with red seals. The title of the volume is fanciful, and one who looks for an account of the great banana empire will not find it.
