This section of the book chronicles the aftermath of struggles between revolutionaries, the established order, and American interests in Latin America during the 1950s and 1960s. The tensions among the group members was the result of competing interests, including self-determination, a suppression of communism, political advantage, and the desire for broader political representation. The sociopolitical actions of citizens of these countries and the policies and responses that the U.S. adopted towards their societies is here examined.
