What is Central America and the United States : the clients and the colossus about?

For The Past Century, The United States Has Effectively Dominated The Economic And Political Destinies Of The Countries On The Central American Isthmus - Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, And Panama. In This Timely And Engaging Narrative, John H. Coatsworth Explores The Paradoxical Question Of Why A Region So Closely Tied To The United States Should Have Become The Site Of So Much Bloodshed And Brutality. To Answer This Question, Coatsworth Examines Both U.s. Foreign Policy And Its Impact On The Central American Countries. He Rejects The Cold War Dogma That Blames Central American Instability On Extreme Communist Machinations As Well As The Opposing View That Attributes It To Purely Internal Factors Such As Poverty And Inequality. Coatsworth Relates The Extraordinary High Levels Of Political And Social Turmoil That Have Characterized The Modern History Of Central America Largely To These Countries' Excessively Close And Subordinate Ties To The United States.^ Coatsworth Provides A Concise History Of U.s.-central American Relations Before 1945, From The Monroe Doctrine To The Transformation Of The Isthmian Republics Into Client States Of The Northern Colossus
