Topical and up to date, Talons of the Eagle: Latin America, the United States, and the World, Fifth Edition, presents an eminent scholar's perspective on the interaction between global trends and inter-American affairs--a subject that has become crucially important in the current era. Rather than concentrating solely on U.S. policy, Peter H. Smith and Ana Covarrubias uniquely address the structural relationships between the two regions by focusing on international systems, the distribution of power, and the perception and pursuit of national interests. Throughout, this provocative text casts light on such contemporary issues as economic integration, drug trafficking, undocumented migration, and the rise of Latin America's "new left." It also analyzes Latin American reactions and responses to the U.S.--and to the rest of the world--in these complex and troubling times.

Industry Reviews

"Talons of the Eagle is one of the best introductions to the history of LA-US relations available. It's organization and narrative style [are particular strengths], and it gives a political science approach that is digestible for those not steeped in the field." --Andrew J. Schlewitz, Grand Valley State University "This is the single strongest text on the U.S. Latin American relationship. It is beautifully written, contains careful, balanced argumentation, engages all of the most important scholarship in the field, and admirably balances breadth with depth. Its historiography is especially impressive and provides an absolutely first rate guide to the development and evolution of the relationship." --Juan D. Lindau, Colorado College "[This text offers] an excellent historical overview of US-Latin American relations. The value of this book [in particular] is the historical analysis it provides. --Paul Posner, Clark University "This book sets the standard on this topic." --Dexter Boniface, Rollins College
