In Kissinger and Latin America, Stephen G. Rabe analyzes U.S.
policies toward Latin America during a critical period of the Cold
War. Except for the issue of Chile under Salvador Allende,
historians have largely ignored inter-American relations during the
presidencies of Richard M. Nixon and Gerald R. Ford. Rabe also
offers a way of adding to and challenging the prevailing
historiography on one of the most preeminent policymakers in the
history of U.S. foreign relations. Scholarly studies on Henry
Kissinger and his policies between 1969 and 1977 have tended to
survey Kissinger's approach to the world, with an emphasis on
initiatives toward the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of
China and the struggle to extricate the United States from the
Vietnam conflict. Kissinger and Latin America offers something
new-analyzing U.S. policies toward a distinct region of the world
during Kissinger's career as national security adviser and
secretary of state. Rabe further challenges the notion that Henry
Kissinger dismissed relations with the southern neighbors. The
energetic Kissinger devoted more time and effort to Latin America
than any of his predecessors-or successors-who served as the
national security adviser or secretary of state during the Cold War
era. He waged war against Salvador Allende and successfully
destabilized a government in Bolivia. He resolved nettlesome issues
with Mexico, Peru, Ecuador, and Venezuela. He launched critical
initiatives with Panama and Cuba. Kissinger also bolstered and
coddled murderous military dictators who trampled on basic human
rights. South American military dictators whom Kissinger favored
committed international terrorism in Europe and the Western
Hemisphere.
