Timeline

1923

Deane Roesch Hinton (March 12, 1923 – March 28, 2017) was an American diplomat and ambassador.

Hinton was born March 12, 1923, in Fort Missoula, Montana.

1943

He graduated from the University of Chicago in 1943 and joined the U. S. Army, serving as a 2nd Lt. during World War II.

1946

A career Foreign Service Officer, his postings included Syria 1946-1950, Mombasa, Kenya 1950-1952, Guatemala 1954-1969,

1949

In 1949, while serving at the US embassy in Syria, he became aware of the US plan to support a coup overthrowing the democratically elected government.

His prescient comment was, “I want to go on record as saying that this is the stupidest, most irresponsible action a diplomatic mission like ours could get itself involved in, and that we’ve started a series of these things that will never end.” However, the new government, led by Husni al-Za'im, did the US's bidding and allowed the trans-Syrian oil pipeline, instigated talks with Israel and imprisoned left-wingers and trade unionists.

He was executed in his pyjamas within the year, much as predicted by Hinton.

Hinton succeeded Robert E. White as ambassador to El Salvador after White was removed from his post by the Reagan administration; as a result, Hinton was seen as "the bearer of the administration's big stick".

However, according to Joan Didion, Hinton's public statements differed from White's "more in style than in substance".

1951

After the war he attended Harvard University from 1951 to 1952 and the National War College from 1961 to 1962.

1954

France 1954-1955, and Chile 1969-1973.

1974

Hinton was appointed U.S. Ambassador to Zaire in 1974.

1975

1980

During Hinton's ambassadorship in El Salvador he was involved with the investigation of the 1980 murders of U.S. missionaries in El Salvador.

He also investigated the Santa Rita massacre, confirming the Salvadoran military's version of events and stating that "they have not tried to hide anything."

1981

He later served as U.S. Ambassador to El Salvador in 1981-83, Pakistan in 1983-86, Costa Rica from 1987 to 1990, and Panama from 1990 to 1994.

According to Joan Didion, he spoke with a "high Montana twang".

1987
