John Lindsay-Poland. Plan Colombia
In his book Plan Colombia: U.S. Ally Atrocities and Community Activism, human rights activist John Lindsay-Poland of the American Friends Service Committee questions the basic assumptions of the success narrative of the U.S. effort in Colombia from 2000 to 2015. U.S. policymakers have heralded the Colombian model of military and economic assistance as the model of achievement, one that has now been replicated across the globe in places including …

The New Forgotten Wars
Recently, I walked into my U.S. survey class after finishing Understanding the U.S. Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan by Beth Bailey and Richard Immerman. Surveying the group, I asked how many personally remembered September 11. Only a couple raised their hands, two older students in their late 20s. I thought about it for a moment and remembered that most of the freshmen in my class had been born in 1997 or later. It struck me pretty hard how that sem…
Between Sorrow and Pride
In July 1966 nine friends left the small copper-mining camp of Morenci, Arizona, for Marine boot camp. Ultimately, within two and a half years, all served in Vietnam, with only three returning alive. Over time, the Morenci Nine, as the group became known, emerged as an important story in the history of the Vietnam War and its impact on people in the Southwest. How people remembered the fallen sons of the copper miners, raised in a segregated comp…
Myth Making in U.S. Foreign Relations
A Vietnam combat veteran observed that most of his colleagues “returned home reasonably whole, as whole as returning veterans from earlier wars. The majority were not dopers, did not beat their wives or children, did not commit suicide, did not haunt the unemployment offices, and did not boozily slide into despair and futility.”1 Reflexively, he challenged popular portrayals of his comrades, as did many other veterans. In fact, some friends had d…
Domestic Politics With Global Consequences
The passage of SB 1070 in Arizona has had short‐term and will have long‐term effects on America’s international standing and its security interests—particularly by reinforcing negative images of the United States. The historical experiences of Mexican immigrants and the Mexican government’s response are most relevant for assessing the international impact of SB 1070. Despite a difficult history over the last 40 years, Mexican leaders have continu…
Transcript
The government’s primary responsibility is to protect the people over which it has jurisdiction, and that includes enforcing the borders and having immigration laws that can be upheld justly and compassionately. One panelist emphasizes securing the border. Other panelists promote a multi‐faceted approach; the US cannot simply secure the border and not address the reasons people migrate to the US, including economic disparity issues. The governmen…
Tribute to George Herring
In spring 1989, I traveled to Lexington, Kentucky, as part of my job in the athletic department at Texas Tech. During my stay, I decided to contact George Herring as I had narrowed down my choices for doctoral studies to two universities. I had already traveled to the other, one much closer to home with a very strong department. Yet, my thesis adviser who knew George well encouraged me to consider the University of Kentucky. George took time out …
Silent Partner? Congress and Foreign Policy in the Cold War
Most historians have viewed Congress during the Cold War as taking only a supporting role in the formulation and implementation of U.S. foreign policy, shrinking in the face of the imperial presidency. This occurs in part because there are significant challenges in synthesizing the viewpoints of a group Ronald Reagan derisively called the “meddlesome committee of 535.” Although members of Congress often have appeared driven more by local issues s…
Deconstructing Reagan
Response to Commentaries
In 2002, Democrats watched Republicans launch attacks on their candidates for failing to support the war on terrorism. In Georgia, this was especially true as Republican strategists painted incumbent Democratic senator Max Cleland, a decorated and disabled Vietnam War veteran, as weak on defense because he opposed certain White House policies. They went so far as to create commercials morphing Osama Bin Laden's face onto that of Cleland. In this …
Target Number One
In November 1970, Senator Albert Gore, Sr., of Tennessee sat down and wrote his colleague, Frank Church, only a few days after his defeat at the hands of Republican Bill Brock. It had been a hard, nasty campaign watched by observers throughout the nation that left Gore tired and discouraged. Yet he remained defiant, noting, “in this business of politics, one must live or die by the sword. Mine has been a long, honorable, and fruitful career. The …
The Company They Kept
This book is a strong addition to the growing literature on migration within the Caribbean Basin and its impact on economy and politics of receiving countries. Building on recent work by Aviva Chomsky and Ronald N. Harpelle, Putnam broadens our knowledge of the important region of Limón on the Atlantic side of Costa Rica. One major contribution is her focus on the role of immigrants from Jamaica, Nicaragua, Cuba, and other parts of Costa Rica in …
Adventures in Naboth's Vineyard
On 21 December 1870, Charles Sumner delivered a rousing speech on the Senate floor against the proposed annexation of the Dominican Republic. In a speech titled “Naboth's Vineyard,” he called the land grab a “dance of blood” and “a new step in a measure of violence.” He compared the Grant administration's action with that of King Ahab of the Old Testament who had coveted his neighbor's vineyard and taken it by deceit and dishonesty. The Massachus…

The Sparrow and the Hawk
Using Costa Rica as a example, Longley carefully examines the development of the successful relationship between a nonindustrialized country and the United States, revealing the complex forces at work in resistance and accommodation. During World War II and the immediate postwar era, both the United States and Costa Rica experienced dramatic changes. The United States assumed world leadership and the accompanying responsibilities; Costa Rica enco…

Peaceful Costa Rica, The First Battleground
In February 1948 a spirited presidential race sparked a political powderkeg in normally tranquil Costa Rica. The opposition candidate, Otilio Ulate, unexpectedly defeated former president Rafael Angel Calderón. Calderón's National Republican Party, the Communist Partido Vanguardia Popular (Vanguard), along with incumbent President Teodoro Picado immediately overturned the results.
