About this product
Product Information
The Killing Zone: The United States Wages Cold War in Latin America is a comprehensive yet concise analysis of U.S. policies in Latin America during the Cold War. Author Stephen G. Rabe, a leading authority in the field, argues that the sense of joy and accomplishment that accompanied the end of the Cold War, the liberation of Eastern Europe, and the collapse of the Soviet Union must be tempered by the realization that Latin Americans paid a ghastly priceduring the Cold War. Dictatorship, authoritarianism, the methodical abuse of human rights, and campaigns of state terrorism characterized life in Latin America between 1945 and 1989. Countries such as Argentina,Brazil, Chile, El Salvador, and Guatemala endured appalling levels of political violence. The U.S. repeatedly intervened in the internal affairs of Latin American nations in the name of anticommunism, destabilizing constitutional governments and aiding and abetting those who murdered and tortured.Incorporating recently declassified documents, Rabe supplements his strong, provocative historical narrative with stories about the fates of ordinary Latin Americans, an extensivechronology, a series of evocative photographs, and an annotated bibliography.

Reviews
"It is the best text on US policy towards Latin America during the Cold War, despite my criticisms. I think Rabe ably and correctly counters the tendency among many scholars, particularly political scientists or those who argue that the ends justify the means, to downplay the human consequences of US policy in Latin America or around the world." -Steven Bunker, The University of Alabama "Among [The Killing Zone's] many strengths, I especially like the clarity of the writing, the coherence of the main arguments, the persuasiveneness of the thesis, and the author's obvious mastery of his material." -Mark T. Gilderhus, Texas Christian University "The Killing Zone has three major advantages over its major competitors: It is written in a highly readable style, it is comprehensive in its coverage of the United States' role Latin America, and it moves beyond simple human rights criteria to question the effectiveness of the economic and geopolitical aims of the interventions." -Mark Lentz, University of Louisiana, Lafayette "This is a sweeping, no-holds barred rebuke to Cold War triumphalism in Latin America. It is meticulously researched, keeping in mind the most recent discoveries of documents, and it knows where the bodies are buried--literally. Few will come away thinking that the United States fought a "good war" in Latin America." -Alan McPherson, University of Oklahoma "The passion Rabe demonstrates, and his direct, forceful, and sustained criticism of U.S policy will make this book stand out as an accessible and vital touchstone for readers concerned about ethics and international relations." -Jeffrey Taffet, United States Merchant Marine Academy "A tight, compelling, deftly-drawn overview. . . . Rabe helps readers see how this doleful past challenges the popular, triumphalist version of the anticommunist struggle. A fresh, valuable addition to the literature."--Michael H. Hunt, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill "Gracefully written and carefully documented, Rabe takes us inside Washington's policy making process to explain not simply the substance of U.S. policy, but also the logic behind it."--Lars Schoultz, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill "The Killing Zone astutely synthesizes recent cutting-edge scholarship. At once analytic and empathetic, Rabe has delivered a thunderous dissent in the midst of the 'job-well-done' back slapping that continues to pass for much of Cold War historiography."-- Greg Grandin, New York University, "A tight, compelling, deftly-drawn overview. . . . Rabe helps readers see how this doleful past challenges the popular, triumphalist version of the anticommunist struggle. A fresh, valuable addition to the literature." --Michael H. Hunt, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill"Gracefully written and carefully documented, Rabe takes us inside Washington's policy making process to explain not simply the substance of U.S. policy, but also the logic behind it." --Lars Schoultz, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill"The Killing Zone astutely synthesizes recent cutting-edge scholarship.

Rabe's The Killing Zone is a powerful indictment of United States policy in Latin America during the Cold War. ... The Killing Zone is an engaging synthesis of the literature on recent United States-Latin American relations..." --International Social Science Review, "A tight, compelling, deftly-drawn overview. . . .
