This book continues the narrative begun by the author in the
preceding volume, Wars of Latin America, 1899-1941. This new work
provides a clear and readable description of military combat
occurring in Latin America for the years 1948 to the start of 1982.
(In an unusual peaceful lull, Latin America experienced no wars
from 1942 to 1947.) Though concentrating on a combat narrative,
matters of politics, business and international relations appear as
necessary to understand the wars. The author has uncovered many
previously unknown sources to provide new information never before
published. The book traces the many insurgencies in Latin America
as well as conventional wars. Among the highlights are the chapters
on the Cuban and Nicaraguan insurrections and on the Bay of Pigs
invasion. One goal of the text is to explain why of the many
insurgencies appearing in Latin America, only those in Cuba and
Nicaragua were successful in overthrowing governments. The book
also helps explain why even unsuccessful insurgencies have survived
for decades, as has happened in Colombia and Peru.
