Modern Latin America

The leading survey in its field, this lively interpretive history has been brought up to date in all areas, especially in its treatment of recent developments in this vastly important region. The new edition examines the implications of the end of the Cold War on U.S.-Latin American relations, such recent developments as international drug trafficking, and the ongoing trend away from authoritarian regimes towards civilian leaders and elected governments. The authors illustrate such central themes as European-Indian and European-African interaction, large-scale immigration in the late 19th and 20th centuries, populist political leadership, military takeovers, and U.S. intervention in Latin America, examining the influence of economic forces and social tensions on political conflict in each case and discusses recent economic developments in clear, jargon-free language. Lucidly written and enhanced by insights from social science, Modern Latin America remains the preeminent treatment of this crucial subject.

It promises to bring Boofo back to life in thehearts of children all over the country.Santa and his elfin companions, Mr. Boom, Mr. Bam, and Mr. Bim, find Boofoshivering in the snow one day.

Half a century after President Eisenhower, nuclear wreckage of the world is once again discussed due to the unstoppable proliferation of nuclear arms. In addition, the garrison state in which every citizen is monitored appears to be the direction of modern government. Using his formidable knowledge gained while winning World War II, President Eisenhower effectively rebuffed these developments with peaceful means during his presidency (1953 - 1961), and after when he advised John F. Kennedy how to manage the Cuba crisis. During his time in office, Eisenhower developed the special relationship with Prime Ministers Winston Churchill (to whom he had to shout at the top his lungs over the phone, and who had predicted Eisenhower would be a war-monger as president) and more warmly with Harold Macmillan, who was horrified that it would take only eight nuclear bombs to spell the end of Britain. Based on newly declassified information, including Eisenhower s secret medical and secretarial records, Thomas recreates for the first time in full the person who took decisions that influence us today.
