"Alan McPherson has written a clear, succinct, and engaging account of the history of U.S. intervention in Latin America and the Caribbean. It is a synthesis aimed at classroom use, and will work admirably in that regard.... McPherson has produced a worthy and accessible addition to the available textbooks on U.S.-Latin American relations."—Gregory Weeks, The Latin Americanist, Vol. 61, No. 2
