Empire's Workshop by Greg Grandin
Latin America, the United States, and the Rise of the New Imperialism
A historical critique arguing that U.S. interventions in Latin America served as a testing ground for modern American imperial practices, tracing how counterinsurgency, covert operations, support for authoritarian regimes, and economic domination developed there and were later applied globally; the book connects Cold War-era policies to post-9/11 strategies and shows how lessons learned in the region shaped contemporary U.S. foreign policy and its consequences for democracy and human rights.
