Latin American dictators of the 20th century
This book investigates contradictions in U.S. foreign policy through promoting democracy abroad while supporting dictatorships in Latin America. Such analysis requires multiple perspectives and this work embraces an evaluation of the influence of military dictatorships on cultural elements, while drawing on data from documentary archives, court case files, investigative reports, international treaties, witness testimonies and letters from survivors.
