Thomas C. Mann
President Johnson, the Cold War, and the Restructuring of Latin American Foreign Policy
This book explores Lyndon Johnson's Latin American policy, from his key advisers to development programs and military interventions, to establish a new perspective on the impact of a complex and controversial president on a tumultuous period in the history of the Western Hemisphere. Demonstrating that much of the negative coverage of their efforts emerged from disgruntled Kennedy loyalists, Tunstall Allcock argues that Johnson and Mann were both New Dealers who possessed a keen desire to operate as good neighbors and support Latin American development and regional integration while dealing with domestic pressure from both right and left.
Based on extensive primary research in multiple archives, this much-needed book provides a crucial exploration of how inter-American relations transitioned from the enthusiasm and excitement of the Kennedy years to the neglect and frustration of the Nixon presidency.
About the Author
Reviews
"Restrained and masterfully written, Tunstall Allcock's manuscript is a rich tapestry onto which the complex political life of Thomas Mann is revealed. This is the political biography of Thomas Mann that our field has been waiting on for many years."—Dr. Thomas C. Field, Jr., author of From Development to Dictatorship: Bolivia and the Alliance for Progress in the Kennedy Era
"In this excellent study, Thomas Tunstall Allcock provides a much-needed reappraisal of US policy in Latin America during Lyndon Johnson's presidency. By challenging the received wisdom on both Thomas Mann and LBJ, the book sheds new light on this understudied period in inter-American relations and successfully offers a corrective to works that have downplayed the importance of Johnson's presidency in this part of the world. Meticulously researched and fluently written, Tunstall Allcock's book will undoubtedly become one of the finest studies on inter-American relations during the Johnson years."—Bevan Sewell, author of Eisenhower, Kennedy, and US Economic Policy in Latin America
"Accounts of US–Latin American relations during the Cold War have often assigned a central role to Thomas Mann. Until now, though, no historian has delved deeply into Mann's ideas and career. Thomas Tunstall Allcock's penetrating study examines Mann in all his complexity and, in the process, brings unprecedented sophistication to the study of US policymaking across the turbulent 1960s."—Mark Atwood Lawrence, author of The Vietnam War: A Concise International History
"Thomas Tunstall Allcock has written an insightful book about a complicated figure. Thomas C. Mann has long been characterized as an architect of US imperialism in Latin America, but Tunstall Allcock uncovers a more surprising and unexpected person. This is an important book that challenges many of our assumptions about America's Cold War."—Andrew Preston, author of Sword of the Spirit, Shield of Faith: Religion in American War and Diplomacy
