But it wasn?t too long before various overarching strategic and ideological priorities began to undermine those good relations as the Cold War came to exert its grip on U.S. policy formation and implementation. In The Truman Administration and Bolivia, Glenn Dorn tells the story of how the Truman administration allowed its strategic concerns for cheap and ready access to a crucial mineral resource, tin, to take precedence over further developing a positive relationship with Bolivia. This ultimately led to the economic conflict that provided a major impetus for the resistance that culminated in the Revolution of 1952?the most important revolutionary event in Latin America since the Mexican Revolution of 1910. The emergence of another revolutionary movement in Bolivia early in the millennium under Evo Morales makes this study of its Cold War predecessor an illuminating and timely exploration of the recurrent tensions between U.S. efforts to establish and dominate a liberal capitalist world order and the counterefforts of Latin American countries like Bolivia to forge their own destinies in the shadow of the ?colossus of the north.? 606 $aTin industry$xGovernment policy$zBolivia$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aTin$xPrices$zBolivia$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aBolivia$xForeign relations$y20th century 607 $aBolivia$xForeign relations$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y1945-1953 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$zBolivia 615 0$aTin industry$xGovernment policy$xHistory 615 0$aTin$xPrices$xHistory 676 $a327.73084 700 $aDorn$b Glenn J.$01719040 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810864403321 996 $aThe Truman administration and Bolivia$94116496 997 $aUNINA
