Drive to Hegemony. The United States in the Caribbean 1898–1917

In this book, David Healy presents a thorough, balanced, and sharply analytical history of U.S. involvement in the Caribbean region between the end of the 19th century and 1920. Healy combines primary research material with a wide array of secondary sources as he details the complex workings of American foreign policy and the internal situations of the Caribbean nations. Scholars and students of U.S. and Latin American history, as well as political scientists interested in Latin American international relations, will find this to be the most comprehensive treatment of the subject to date.
