About the book
Lars Schoultz offers a critical and well-documented analysis of how human rights were instrumentalized—or neglected—by American foreign policy during the Cold War, particularly in relation to Latin America. Through data and detailed historical accounts, he examines the contradictions between American rhetoric about freedom and actions that frequently supported authoritarian regimes.
A fundamental work of political history for understanding the complexities of American hegemony, the politics of ideological alliances, and the lasting consequences of twentieth-century geopolitical choices.
