Victor Bulmer-Thomas, Honorary Professor, Institute of the Americas, University College London & Former Director, Chatham House ?This is an important and timely book, reappraising the UK?s role in Latin America in the 20th century. What emerges is far more interesting than the usual narrative of linear UK decline in the face of growing US predominance.? ? Peter Collecott, CMG, UK Ambassador to Brazil, 2004?2008 This book explores the role of Great Britain in twentieth-century Latin America, a period dominated by the growing political and economic influence of the United States. Focusing on three broad themes?war and conflict; commercial and business rivalries; and responses to economic nationalism, revolution, and political change?the individual chapters cover a number of countries and issues from 1914 to 1970, stressing the reluctance with which Britain ceded hegemony in the region. An epilogue focuses on Anglo-American relations and concerns in Latin America in the more recent past. The chapters, all written by leading scholars on their particular subjects, are based on original research in a wide variety of archives, going beyond the standard Foreign Office and State Department sources to which most earlier scholars were confined. 410 0$aBritain and the world. 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aDiplomacy 607 $aGreat Britain$xForeign relations$zLatin America 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 0$aDiplomacy. 676 $a909.82 702 $aMills$b Thomas C. 702 $aMiller$b Rory M. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910427041503321 996 $aBritain and the growth of US hegemony in twentieth-century Latin America$92224742 997 $aUNINA
