Building on Schmitz's earlier work, Thank God They're On Our Side,
this is an examination of American policy toward right-wing
dictatorships from the 1960s to the end of the Cold War. During the
1920s American leaders developed a policy of supporting
authoritarian regimes because they were seen as stable,
anti-communist, and capitalist. After 1965, however, American
support for these regimes became a contested issue. The Vietnam War
served to undercut the logic and rationale of supporting right-wing
dictators. By systematically examining U.S. support for right-wing
dictatorships in Africa, Latin America, Europe, and Asia, and
bringing together these disparate episodes, this book examines the
persistence of older attitudes, the new debates brought about by
the Vietnam War, and the efforts to bring about changes and an end
to automatic U.S. support for authoritarian regimes.
