Overview
Features a unique focus on the personal interactions between rank-and-file members of the U.S. Foreign Service and dictatorial regimes
Complicates popular academic narratives of the State Department’s support for despotic regimes in Latin America by debating the extent of U.S. complicity in sustaining these regimes
Focuses on Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras, which have been under-studied in relation to U.S.-Central American foreign policy compared to the former protectorates
