This book is a history of the Cold War in Mexico, and Mexico in the
Cold War. Renata Keller draws on declassified Mexican and US
intelligence sources and Cuban diplomatic records to challenge
earlier interpretations that depicted Mexico as a peaceful haven
and a weak neighbor forced to submit to US pressure. Mexico did in
fact suffer from the political and social turbulence that
characterized the Cold War era in general, and by maintaining
relations with Cuba it played a unique, and heretofore overlooked,
role in the hemispheric Cold War. The Cuban Revolution was an
especially destabilizing force in Mexico because Fidel Castro's
dedication to many of the same nationalist and populist causes that
the Mexican revolutionaries had originally pursued in the early
twentieth century called attention to the fact that the government
had abandoned those promises. A dynamic combination of domestic and
international pressures thus initiated Mexico's Cold War and shaped
its distinct evolution and outcomes.
