  • Theodore Roosevelt, the Panama Canal, and the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine

    Open AccessStephen G RabeARTICLEIdeAs2023References: 1

    Theodore Roosevelt once declared that "by far the most important action I took in foreign affairs during the time I was president related to the Panama Canal" (Sánchez P., 2007: 50). President Roosevelt had accomplished in 1903-1904 a treaty with the new nation of Panama that gave the United States the right to build and fortify a canal that connected the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The Panama Canal opened in 1914. Over 1,000 merchant ships pass…

  • Hemispheric Alliances: Liberal Democrats and Cold War Latin America

    Stephen G RabeARTICLEHispanic American Historical Review2023

    Andrew J. Kirkendall has produced a thorough history of the making of Latin American policy by liberals in the Democratic Party during the Cold War. His account leaves readers, however, with problematic conclusions. Kirkendall, of Texas A&M University, has achieved esteem in the scholarly world for his superb, multinational study Paulo Freire and the Cold War Politics of Literacy (2010). This book is very different. Kirkendall confined his archiv…

  • The Lost Paratroopers of Normandy: A Story of Resistance, Courage, and Solidarity in a French Village

    Open AccessStephen G RabeBOOKLost Paratroopers of Normandy2022

    The fateful days surrounding 6 June 1944 have been extensively documented in histories of the Second World War, but less attention has been paid to the tremendous impact of these events on the populations nearby. The Lost Paratroopers of Normandy tells the inspiring yet heartbreaking story of ordinary people who did extraordinary things in defense of liberty and freedom. On D-Day, when transport planes dropped paratroopers from the 82nd and 101st…

  • Precarious Paths to Freedom: The United States, Venezuela, and the Latin American Cold War

    Stephen G RabeARTICLEHispanic American Historical Review2017

    Aragorn Storm Miller of the University of Texas at Austin has written an analysis of US-Venezuelan relations from 1958 to 1968 that is simultaneously baffling and informative. In the aftermath of the popular uprising against military dictator Marcos Pérez Jiménez (1952–1958), the Dwight D. Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy administrations vigorously supported constitutionalism and democratic civic life in Venezuela. The United States celebrated the …

  • Rivalry and Alliance Politics in Cold War Latin America

    Stephen G RabeARTICLEHispanic American Historical Review2016

    Analyzing international relations theory, not evaluating history, is the central purpose of this study of interstate relations in Latin America during the Cold War. Christopher Darnton, an assistant professor of politics at the Catholic University of America, examines why bilateral rivalries persist and what conditions lead them to end. During the Cold War, such rivalries endured even though Latin American states were ostensibly allied with one a…

  • Fifty Years of Revolution: Perspectives on Cuba, the United States, and the World

    Stephen G Rabe, G RabeARTICLEJournal of American History2013

    With Barack Obama beginning his second term, Fidel Castro and Raúl Castro are seeing their eleventh U.S. president. The Cold War ended in 1989, and the Soviet Union imploded in 1991, but U.S.-Cuban relations remain entangled in a bizarre time warp. In November 1959 the Central Intelligence Agency began to plot the “elimination” of Fidel Castro. In 1960 President Dwight D. Eisenhower authorized plans to invade Cuba and imposed trade sanctions on t…

  • Human Rights, Latin America, and the Cold War: Human Rights, Latin America, and the Cold War

    Stephen G RabeARTICLEDiplomatic History2012

    The Cold War proved a gruesome time for Latin Americans. In the four decades that followed the overthrow of the constitutional government of Jacobo Arbenz Guzmán (1950–54) over 200,000 Guatemalans perished in political violence. In tiny El Salvador, a country of only five million people, over 75,000 citizens died, principally during the 1980s. Over 500,000 citizens fled the country and another 500,000 were internally displaced by the political vi…

  • No Higher Law: American Foreign Policy and the Western Hemisphere since 1776

    Stephen G Rabe, G RabeARTICLEJournal of American History2011

    Master historians recently have been presenting grand narratives of the expanding role of the United States in the world. Michael H. Hunt's The American Ascendancy: How the United States Gained and Wielded Global Dominance (2007) and George Herring's From Colony to Superpower: U.S. Foreign Relations since 1776 (2008) have treated scholars to sweeping accounts of how the United States, in Hunt's words, “gained and wielded global dominance.” Brian …

  • The Johnson Doctrine

    Open AccessStephen G RabeARTICLEPresidential Studies Quarterly2006Cited by: 2References: 5

    In May 1965, when U.S. troops landed in the Dominican Republic, President Lyndon Johnson pronounced his “Johnson Doctrine,” declaring that the United States would never again permit the establishment of a Communist regime in the Western Hemisphere. Although the Dominican intervention marked the first armed, overt U.S. intervention in Latin America in over three decades, the intervention and the Johnson Doctrine did not mark a signal departure in …

  • The U.S. Intervention in Guatemala: The Documentary Record

    Stephen G RabeARTICLEDiplomatic History2004

    “Bomb repeat Bomb” telegraphed a panicky JMBLUG to Ascham. Calligeris was in danger; his “assets” were “too small.” If “we fail to bomb,” JMBLUG warned, we will be guilty of “what William James called ‘atrocious harmlessness.’” The 19 June 1954 telegram went through the CIA station chief in Guatemala City to CIA headquarters. The author, ambassador to Guatemala John E. Peurifoy (JMBLUG), implored CIA Director Allen Dulles (Robert A. Ascham) to dr…

  • Conflicting Missions: Havana, Washington, and Africa, 1959-1976

    Stephen G RabeARTICLEHispanic American Historical Review2003

    Based solely on the extent of his research, Piero Gleijeses deserves to win major book prizes. Gleijeses, who has previously published solid studies on U.S. interventions in the Dominican Republic (The Dominican Crisis [1978]), and Guatemala (Shattered Hope [1991]), has in this analysis of Cuba’s adventures in Africa (1959–76) set a standard for the writing of international history. The author traveled to Cuba 14 times, gained access to Cuban arc…

    Open AccessStephen G RabeARTICLEPresidential Studies Quarterly2000Cited by: 2References: 2

    In analyzing U.S. relations with Cuba during the Kennedy administration, scholars have focused on the Bay of Pigs invasion, Operation Mongoose, and the Cuban missile crisis. Less attention has been given to the state of U.S.‐Cuban relations in the aftermath of the missile crisis and during the last year of President John F. Kennedy's life. Scholars have assumed, however, that Kennedy was in the process of reevaluating his hostile policies toward …
