The Age of Discrimination: Race and American Foreign Policy after World War I
The decade after World War I has traditionally been defined as an “age of isolation.” The American public’s disillusionment with World War I, highlighted by the dismal failure of President Woodrow Wilson’s efforts to join the League of Nations, led to “A Return to Isolationism,” according to a brief summary of American diplomacy produced by the Department of State. Despite the fact that historian William Appleman Williams attempted to destroy the…
William Howard Taft and the Philippines: A Blueprint for Empire
For most Americans, William Howard Taft is remembered—if at all—for his girth rather than any particular accomplishment. Historians often have Taft rather uncomfortably squeezed between Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson. Adam D. Burns, in his study of Taft and the American occupation of the Philippines in the first decades after the Spanish-American War, attempts to give us a more nuanced and meaningful interpretation of this somewhat forgott…

Savage Settlers
If historians as a group consistently seek the “next big thing,” the theory that will explain it all, it seems particularly true for the scholars of U.S. diplomatic history. Ever since Charles Maier’s scathing analysis of the state of the field 35 years ago in which he argued that it was “languishing” behind the more vibrant and relevant work being done in other subfields of historical research, those who study the history of U.S. foreign relatio…
"Among the Highest Concerns": LBJ and Latin America, 1964-1968
Shortly after the assassination of John F. Kennedy and his own succession to the presidency, Lyndon Baines Johnson announced that the Western Hemisphere would be “among the highest concerns of my Government” (p. 1). One of the latest volumes in the Foreign Relations of the United States series, focusing on American policy toward South and Central America and Mexico during the years 1964–1968, suggests that, at least until Vietnam came along and d…

Managing the Counterrevolution: The United States and Guatemala, 1954-1961
The U.S.-orchestrated overthrow of the democratic government of Guatemala in 1954 has taken its place as a defining moment of America's Cold War crusade. Many scholars have described the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) campaign of propaganda and subversion, which culminated in the June 1954 removal of Guatemalan president Jacobo Ar-benz Guzmán. Less is known about the U.S.Guatemalan relationship in the succeeding years. Stephen M. Streeter addr…

The Second Century: U.S.-Latin American Relations Since 1889
As one of the leading scholars of U.S.–Latin American relations, Mark Gilderhus has heard the complaint before: for those who teach inter-American relations on a regular basis, finding a good, single-volume synthesis of the most important scholarship on the subject is often a frustrating search. In an effort to at least partially address that concern, Gilderhus has produced a fine brief book that not only summarizes the most important events and …
