Birch O'Neal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Birch Dilworth O'Neal (c.1913 – August 28, 1995) was the CIA station chief in Guatemala in 1953, succeeding Collins Almon.[1] When the CIA began Operation PBSuccess, whose goal was to overthrow Guatemalan president Jacobo Arbenz, O'Neal objected, so director Allen Dulles transferred him out so that the operation could proceed.[2][3]
O'Neal was born in Bainbridge, Georgia.[4]
