The book was first published in 1950 in the United States by E. P. Dutton.[1][2] It drew upon Vidal's experiences living in Guatemala during the Guatemalan Revolution.[3] Vidal re-wrote a significantly shortened version of Dark Green, Bright Red in 1968. However, when the book was published in a new United Kingdom edition in 1995 by Andre Deutsch, the longer, original text was used.[3] Plot summaryWith the backing of a U.S. fruit company, a court-martialled American army officer and a French advisor, General Alvarez, a deposed Central American dictator mounts an attempted coup d’etat to regain power. The first part of the book is set mainly in jungle, yet most of the military action takes place elsewhere. It was the first of Vidal's books to explore the idea that the United States was an imperialist country.[3] Critical receptionThe novel received mixed to negative reviews. A New York Times reviewer called it "a sad waste of real narrative gifts and wit",[4] while Kirkus Reviews considered it "[w]ell-written, with authentic atmosphere, ... but not up to the mark of [Vidal's] earlier work."[5] Saturday Review deemed it "an interesting failure."[6] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.harpersbooks.com/pages/books/16222/gore-vidal/dark-green-bright-red |title=Dark Green, Bright Red |publisher=Harper's Books |accessdate=December 7, 2014 }}{{dead link|date=December 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} {{Gore Vidal}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Dark Green, Bright Red}}{{1950s-novel-stub}}2. ^{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=z3ZbAAAAMAAJ |title=Dark Green, Bright Red |publisher=Google Books |accessdate=December 7, 2014}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite web |url=http://www.pitt.edu/~kloman/early.html |title=The Early Fiction of Gore Vidal: 1946-1956 |accessdate=December 7, 2014}} 4. ^{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/books/98/03/01/home/vidal-dark.html |title=From Patio and Jungle |last=Barr |first=Donald |authorlink=Donald Barr |date=October 8, 1950 |newspaper=New York Times |accessdate=December 7, 2014}} 5. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/gore-vidal-5/dark-green-bright-red/ |title=Dark Green, Bright Red |date=October 9, 1950 |publisher=Kirkus Reviews |accessdate=December 7, 2014}} 6. ^{{cite journal |title=Fighting Somebody Else's Revolution |last=Brooks |first=John |authorlink=John Brooks (writer) |journal=Saturday Review |date=October 14, 1950 }} 6 : 1950 American novels|Novels by Gore Vidal|Novels set in Central America|Novels about revolutions|E.
