CHOICE Review

The message of Lowenthal (University of Southern California) is clear: current US policies toward Latin America are seriously flawed, and are a recipe for future disaster in our relations with the other 400 million people who share this hemisphere with us. Latin America has changed in the past 20 years, but US policy has not. We are still obsessed with US national security, narrowly understood. We are, however, no longer dealing with nations at the brink of development, but with modernized societies capable of forging their own, often independent, foreign and domestic policies. Lowenthal believes there is precious little we can do any more to push the Latin Americans around. Instead, he argues, we must begin to develop cooperative relations based on self-confidence and trust. This is an important and timely message, especially when Oliver North and others are urging us to continue the failed policies of the past. Unfortunately, this book will not reach so vast an audience as has Colonel North. This is a shame and perhaps a tragedy. Recommended for everyone interested in future of this nation and this hemisphere. Should be read along with Wayne S. Smith's The Closest of Enemies (CH, Jun '87). For readers at all levels.-E.A.
