America and the Americas: The United States in the Western Hemisphere (The United States and the Americas)
This is a long overdue work. There have not been any comprehensive general analyses of Latin American-United States relations which cover the complete historical record from a variety of angles since Samuel Flagg Bemis's classic The Latin American Policy of the United States , (HBJ, 1943. o.p.) and Gordon Connell-Smith's The United States & Latin America (Halsted: Wiley, 1974. o.p.). Langley, a knowledgeable Latin American affairs expert, provides an objective analysis in a smoothly written, jargon-free text, admirably filling a void in the literature. His approach also gives needed attention to cultural influences. Essential for all libraries.- Roderic A.
