In the Eagle's Shadow : The United States and Latin America (2 Revised edition)

All too often undergraduate readers find themselves overwhelmed by textbooks on the history of American foreign relations - the scholarly tone leaving them frustrated, the onslaught of names, events, policies, and counter-policies leaving them unable to realise important continuities in a multidimensional story.

It is with the student reader in mind that this second edition offers a concise narrative history that in straight-forward 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 edition is ideal for use as a core text for courses in American Foreign Relations and makes engaging supplementary reading for survey courses in U.S. as well as Latin American History.
