In this accessible volume, John R. Bawden introduces readers to the
study of armed forces in Latin American history through vivid
narratives about four very different countries: Mexico, Cuba,
Brazil, and Chile. Latin America has faced many of the challenges
common to postcolonial states such as civil war, poorly defined
borders, and politically fractured societies. Studying its
militaries offers a powerful lens through which to understand major
events, eras, and problems. Bawden draws on stories about the men
and women who served in conventional armed forces and guerrilla
armies to examine the politics and social structure of each
country, the state's evolution, and relationships between soldiers
and the global community. Designed as an introductory text for
undergraduates, Latin American Soldiers identifies major concepts,
factors, and trends that have shaped modern Latin America. It is an
essential text for students of Latin American Studies or History
and is particularly useful for students focusing on the military,
revolutions, and political history.
