It is an authoritative, cross-cultural, and provocatively interpretive work (led by Gilbert M. Joseph’s superb introductory overview of both the global Cold War and post–1945 U.S.–Latin American relations), and notably important in regard to Washington’s success in helping to kill Latin American democratic and independent cultural movements even as U.S. officials were demanding the spread of democracy elsewhere.”—Walter LaFeber, Andrew and James Tisch University Professor, Cornell University\u003cbr\u003e“This outstanding collection explains why Latin America was central to the Cold War and why the Cold War was central for Latin America.
