Born in Blood and Fire: A Concise History of Latin America is a book by John Charles Chasteen, professor of history at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

 The book is divided into chapters that address themes that were common throughout Latin America, such as colonialism, independence, progress, neocolonialism, nationalism, and revolution.
 Other themes that frequently come up in the book include issues of race, ethnicity, and class as well as the formation of republics.
 A timeline is provided at the beginning of the book; and various maps, photographs, and images are used throughout the book.
 "Born in Blood and Fire" was originally published by W. W. Norton and Company in 2001.
 Three other editions have been published since, the most recent in 2016.
 Later editions include updates and expansion of colonialism, nationalism, the Cuban Revolution, and current political and economic issues.

 Following the Cuban Revolution and the overthrow of the friendly government of Fulgencio Batista, the United States became concerned with the spread of the Soviet Union's influence in Latin America, becoming heavily invested in retaining as much influence as possible.
 With the nuclear arms race at its peak, a Soviet transfer of nuclear warheads to its Latin American ally in Cuba nearly concluded in the onset of World War III in October 1962.
 Afterwards, the United States hardened its influence throughout Latin America, involving itself in what became known as the "Dirty War", a process that involved questionable actions including supporting or overthrowing governments depending on political leaning, supporting subversive groups such as the Contras with weaponry and funding, or participating in controversial operations such as Operation Charly and Operation Condor.
 The fallout from these actions affect Latin America–United States relations to this day.
