Review
"A badly needed, updated discussion of the Monroe Doctrine; [Smith offers] a different perspective on George Kennan and the origins of the Cold War, and brief, useful overviews of U.S. policies during the 1980s and the 1990s-especially in Haiti, Central America, Chile, and Brazil."--Walter La- Feber, Cornell University
