xvii, 198 pages ; 24 cm While not commonly centered in the Cold War story, Latin America was intensely affected by that historic conflict. In this book, available for the first time in English, Vanni Pettinà makes sense of the region's diverse, complex political experiences of the Cold War era. Cross-fertilized by Latin American and Anglophone historiography, his account shifts from an overemphasis on U.S. interventions toward a comprehensive Latin American perspective. Connecting Cold War events to the region's political polarizations, revolutionary mobilizations, draconian state repression, and brutal violence in almost every sphere, Pettinà demonstrates that Latin America's Cold War was rarely cold Historiographical approaches to Latin America's Cold War Latin America in the early Cold War period (1946-1954) : political and economic tensions and their consequences The Cuban Revolution : a turning point in Latin America's Cold War The decade of terror The Central American political and military conflict Vanni Pettinà ; [translated by Quentin Pope].
