- This book, which was the product of over ten years writing and research in five US archives, reinterprets the course of U.S. policy in Latin America during the presidencies of Dwight Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy. Focusing on the oft neglected, but critically important, theme of economic development, the book argues that U.S. policies were severely imbalanced by American policymakers' inability to reconcile their national security aims with their desire to shape Latin American economic advancement. The result of this, the book argues, was a dramatic increase in anti-American sentiments across Latin America and the undermining of U.S. power.

- A small amount of material from this 256-page book, on pages 64 to 87, was submitted to the REF2014 exercise in the form of an article published in Diplomatic History in November 2008: "A perfect (free-market) world? Economics, the Eisenhower administration, and the Soviet economic offensive in Latin America," Diplomatic History, Vol. 32, Issue 5, pp. 841-868. Though the material has been rewritten and the argument has evolved, there are similar passages and extracts across this page span.
