Description: "In this thoughtful, thoroughly researched, balanced, and unorthodox analysis, Pike decides US noninterventionist orientation was based on Rooseveltian realism eschewing pressures on Latin Americans to accept US values (he assumed they would eventually converge) as counterproductive to achieving US goal of hemispheric stability and support for its strategic interests"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
