"The editors have assembled an outstanding group of scholars in
this very welcome addition to our understanding of Latin American
external relations and British foreign policy towards the region in
the 20th century."- Victor Bulmer-Thomas, Honorary Professor,
Institute of the Americas, University College London & Former
Director, Chatham House "This is an important and timely book,
reappraising the UK's role in Latin America in the 20th century.
What emerges is far more interesting than the usual narrative of
linear UK decline in the face of growing US predominance."- Peter
Collecott, CMG, UK Ambassador to Brazil, 2004-2008 This book
explores the role of Great Britain in twentieth-century Latin
America, a period dominated by the growing political and economic
influence of the United States. Focusing on three broad themes-war
and conflict; commercial and business rivalries; and responses to
economic nationalism, revolution, and political change-the
individual chapters cover a number of countries and issues from
1914 to 1970, stressing the reluctance with which Britain ceded
hegemony in the region. An epilogue focuses on Anglo-American
relations and concerns in Latin America in the more recent past.
The chapters, all written by leading scholars on their particular
subjects, are based on original research in a wide variety of
archives, going beyond the standard Foreign Office and State
Department sources to which most earlier scholars were confined.
