Title: Angry Opinions Masquerading as History
Product review: I enjoy reading history and I purchased this book to enrich my understanding of Latin American history.The major flaw with this book was that it becomes more and more of an angry rant as it progresses. It started off rather objectively but eventually begins to attribute any and all of Latin America's problems to the evil workings of the wicked United States (Europe is sometimes blamed).I don't intend to say that the history of US involvement in Latin America has always been benign, but it is complex. The author does not seem to acknowledge this complexity.Additionally I would like to have seen a bit more emphasis on how specific countries have deviated from historical trends.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
