Choice Reviews

For far too long, Latin America was seen as an object to be explained by U.S. foreign policy. Frank Mora and Jeanne Hey have given the region its voice by describing and explaining the foreign policies of most of the countries. This volume is a very helpful contribution to our understanding of inter-American relations in the post–Cold War era.
