To compensate for this neglect, Herbert Goldhamer examines the foreign powers in Latin America, focusing on 1961 to1971. Adopting an analytical and topical approach, Mr. Godhamer presents a comparative picture of the foreign ‘owers’ objectives and of the means and resources they have used pursuing of these ends.
