This is a 1959 Hubert A. Bauer and News Map of the Week, Inc. map of the world chronicling the toppling of Latin American dictators from 1954 through 1959. A portrait of Fulgencio Batista, the ousted dictator of Cuba, occupies the southern Pacific Ocean and introduces the map's purpose - to detail the rise and fall of seven Latin American dictators from Cuba to Argentina. The other arrows, each numbered one through thirteen, indicate where the thirteen news stories summarized occurred. These include a landmark study of deep ocean trenches, the appointment of a cabinet in Cuba, a new U.S. national flag with a 49th star, a visit by the No. 2 Russian official Anastas Mikoyan to the United States, and a rebellion in Tibet. An inset, entitled 'Cuba, Island in Turmoil' provides a history of Cuba in thirteen vignettes. Profile views of the Cuban capital and Morro Castle are included as well.
