Publisher's Synopsis
Offering an insightful look at a century of dictators, drug barons, death squads and disappearances, Suarez traces the predatory nature of Washington's relationship with Latin America from the Monroe Doctrine through the 'dirty wars' in Cuba and Central America to the neoliberal fundamentalism being imposed with such explosive consequences in the 21st century. Illuminated with vignettes from literary and political figures, this is a uniquely rounded look at a volatile continent.
