"""This is an important book on American soft power and its limitations. Anyone with an interest in US public diplomacy and/or in Cold War US-Latin American relations should read it."" Arne WESTAD, Yale University ""This is an essential interdisciplinary volume that adds much to the history of the Cold War in Latin America and the region’s long-sixties. Through the lens of public diplomacy, culture, philanthropy, sport and security, US Public Diplomacy Strategies in Latin America During the Sixties reveals the complex networks and interactions that underpinned transnational, inter-American and transatlantic relations in the mid-20th century."" Tanya HARMER, London School of Economics and Political Science ""At long last! With this exceptional collection of original research, we finally have a comprehensive single-volume history of the battle for hearts and minds in Latin America. This book makes a vital contribution to our knowledge and understanding of US public diplomacy, and its impact and reception in the Western Hemisphere. Readers interested in US foreign policy, Latin American history, and the ‘Cultural Cold War’ will want this book on their shelf."" Kenneth OSGOOD, Colorado School of Mines ""US Public Diplomacy Strategies in Latin America During the Sixties is an incredibly rich and diverse collection of contributions by an all-star cast that stretches our understanding of US public diplomacy in Latin America in pioneering ways. Required reading for diplomats and scholars alike!"" Christian OSTERMANN, Woodrow Wilson Center"
