Description

In Masters of War, Clara Nieto adeptly presents the parallel histories of the countries of Latin The usa, histories that are intertwined, each reflecting america’ “coherent policy of intervention” set into motion by the Monroe Doctrine. As the value of this continued policy comes increasingly more into question, Nieto argues for the wish to evaluate the alarming precedent set in Latin The usa: the institution of client dictatorships, the roles played by the interests of U.S. corporations, the enormous tolls taken on civilian populations, and the irreversible disruption of regional stability.
Drawing from an impressive array of documents and sources in addition to from her unique first-hand insights as a participant in an important meetings and negotiations in the region from the mid-1960s through the mid-1980s, Nieto chronicles the Cuban Revolution, the CIA-sponsored coup against popularly elected President Allende in Chile, the U.S. invasions of Panama and Grenada, U.S. fortify for the cultivation and training of paramilitary death squads in Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Colombia, in addition to in a similar way severe but less well-known situations in other countries such as Uruguay, Venezuela, Argentina, Peru, Bolivia, Honduras, and Guatemala.
Masters of War offers, from an informed perspective, perhaps for the first time, a distanced, objective analysis of latest Latin American history. Clara Nieto’s depth of knowledge and understanding is an invaluable resource at a time when the media is seen as unapologetically aligned with the interests of major corporations and policymakers, and the American public has reached a new height of apprehension regarding the intentions in the back of and consequences of its government’s policies.
