This is a story of David vs. Goliath in international relations.
The Bolivian Revolution and the United States, 1952 to the Present
recounts how Bolivia, after its Revolution of 1952, interacted with
the United States. In the wake of its victory in the Second World
War, the United States had started to undertake ambitious
nation-building projects in the Third World using the tool of
economic aid, as it had successfully done with the Marshall Plan
for Western Europe. Bolivia represented the first of these
experiments, and its process and outcome have much to tell us about
the limits of U.S. power. Bolivia proved capable not only of
achieving compromises in reaction to U.S. initiatives but also of
influencing U.S. policy through its own actions. Unlike most other
studies of the Revolution, this book follows the story through the
early 1970s and traces the shifting relationships between the two
countries over a longer span of time. Anyone who wants to
understand the significance of the election of Evo Morales in 2006,
which represented a return to the original revolutionary spirit of
1952, and the nature of Bolivian-U.S. relations today will find
this book to be essential reading.
