Battle For The Hemisphere: Democracy Versus Totalitarianism In The Other America - Paperback

""Battle For The Hemisphere: Democracy Versus Totalitarianism In The Other America"" is a non-fiction book written by Edward Tomlinson. The book presents a comprehensive analysis of the political landscape of Latin America, with a focus on the ideological battle between democracy and totalitarianism.

He delves into the root causes of this phenomenon, including the legacy of colonialism, economic inequality, and the influence of external powers. The book examines the rise of populist leaders in Latin America, such as Hugo Chavez in Venezuela, Evo Morales in Bolivia, and Rafael Correa in Ecuador. Tomlinson discusses the challenges these leaders have faced in balancing their populist agendas with democratic principles, and the impact of their policies on the region. He also analyzes the role of the United States in shaping the political landscape of Latin America, including its support for authoritarian regimes during the Cold War and its more recent efforts to promote democracy in the region.Overall, ""Battle For The Hemisphere"" provides a comprehensive overview of the political challenges facing Latin America and the struggle for democracy in the region. The book is well-researched and provides a nuanced analysis of the complex issues at play, making it a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the political dynamics of Latin America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
