Synopsis/Details
“THE BANANA WARS” is the story of a young man, James Hanvey, who enlists in the Marines to escape poverty in 1926. His enlistment takes him to Nicaragua to fight in what history has now termed “The Banana Wars”. Hanvey is, at first, sent to fight against Sandino and his army, but he soon gets orders to rescue an American executive (Frank Logan) of the despised United Fruit Company. President Coolidge cannot pay the ransom Sandino demands, and Logan’s own company, United Fruit, won’t pay either. Coolidge finally sends in a covert team of Marines to extract Logan from Sandino’s capture before a public relations nightmare is created.
