Between 1921 and 1933, the United States moved from a policy of
active intervention to a policy of noninterference in the internal
political affairs of the Caribbean states. How the shift from the
diplomacy of the Taft and Wilson administrations to the Good
Neighbor policy of Franklin Roosevelt occurred is the subject of
Dana Gardner Munro's book. The author draws on official records and
on his personal experience as a member of the Latin American
Division of the United States Department of State to piece together
the history of the transition in diplomatic policy. Professor Munro
concentrates on several important issues that changed the tone of
the relations of the United States with Cuba, the Dominican
Republic, Haiti, and the five Central American Republics: the
failure to compel political reforms in Cuba from 1921 to 1923; the
withdrawal of the occupations from the Dominican Republic and
Haiti; the intervention in Nicaragua; the response to the Machado
and Trujillo dictatorships; and the refusal to recognize
revolutionary governments in Central America. The author's analysis
sheds new light on the much-discussed Clark memorandum, on the
degree to which policy furthered the interests of bankers and
businessmen, and on the attitude of the American government toward
dictatorial regimes. Originally published in 1974. The Princeton
Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again
make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
