Latin American Diplomatic History: An Introduction

Here is a fresh and unconventional introduction to the history of Latin American international relations, from colonial times to the present. Previous works of this scope have been written with an emphasis on the Latin American policy of the United States or other "outside" nations. In this volume, the authors offer a pioneering study from a perspective that has been ignored in English-language books--that of the Latin American nations themselves. Includes an extensive bibliography, with listings by both country and century.

Harold Eugene Davis is professor emeritus of history and international service at the American University; John J. Finan is professor of Latin American studies at the American University; F. Taylor Peck, formerly a U.S. Foreign Service officer, is currently Latin American representative for the American Bank Note Company. All three authors have had extensive teaching experience and have numerous publications about Latin America to their credit.
