In March 1961, President John F. Kennedy announced the formation of
the Alliance for Progress, a programme dedicated to creating
prosperous, socially-just, democratic societies throughout Latin
America. Despite spending $20 billion in pursuit of the Alliance's
goals, Latin American economies barely grew, Latin American
societies remained inequitable, and 16 extra-constitutional changes
of government rocked the region. In this analysis, the author aims
to explain why Kennedy's grand plan for Latin America proved to be
such a policy failure. He investigates the nature of Kennedy's
intense anti-Communist crusade and explores the convictions that
drove him to fight the Cold War throughout the Caribbean and Latin
America, a region he repeatedly referred to as ""the most dangerous
area in the world"".
