In the Eagle's Shadow: The United States and Latin America

By Kyle Longley and Snell Family Dean's Distinguished Professor of History Kyle Longley

Book Overview

All too often undergraduate readers can find themselves overwhelmed by foreign relations textbooks, the onslaught of names, events, and resultant policies and counterpolicies leaving them unable to form an appreciation, much less a working knowledge of, international relations. Worse yet, loose references to prominent scholars can leave them scratching their heads. It is with the student in mind that we are proud to present the second edition of our popular text, a concise narrative history that in straightforward language relates the long and complex history of the relationships between the United States and the nations of Latin America. Like its predecessor, this new editon of In the Eagle's Shadowis ideal for use as a core text for courses in U.S-Latin American relations, as well as engaging supplementary reading for the U.S. or Latin American history surveys.

An excellent handbook on US/Latin-America relations

Having had to read this book for an upper-level college class, I can definitely recommend this book. It is quite readable and makes the subject even enjoyable. It also makes a strong starting part in various term papers on US/Latin relations. Start with this book and the term paper almost writes itself as this book will give you a proper outline.
