Sommario/riassunto

"Presents a concise account of the full sweep of U.S. military invasions and interventions in Central America, South America, and the Caribbean from 1800 up to the present day. For each era, author looks at five elements: causes, consequences, contestation, collaboration, and context to shed light on the economic, military, political, and cultural issues that have shaped U.S.-Latin America relations."--Page 4 of cover.
