(Ithaca, N.Y.: Cornell University Press, 2020).
Having retired after 45 years of university teaching, the author has released his 12th scholarly book, one in which he discusses U.S. policies toward Latin America during a critical period of the Cold War. One reviewer noted that he “proves tough but fair. He pulls no punches against Kissinger’s vicious support for dictators. Yet Rabe also appreciates the former secretary of state’s open-mindedness on issues ranging from economics to the Panama Canal.”
