Western Front

Western Front examines the extensive history of U.S. foreign policy within the Western Hemisphere, highlighting conflicts, military interventions, and diplomatic strategies that have shaped the region and the United States itself.


A key focus is the enduring tension between promoting U.S. strategic interests and fostering regional stability, a balance often disrupted by unintended consequences.


The book analyzes the evolution from the Monroe Doctrine through the Cold War and the War on Drugs, alongside diplomatic efforts such as treaties and trade agreements, offering a crucial understanding of contemporary geopolitical dynamics.

The book progresses chronologically, starting with early U.S. expansionism and its impact on indigenous populations and newly independent Latin American nations.


Subsequent chapters explore specific periods and events, including the Spanish-American War and the Good Neighbor Policy.


By using both primary and secondary sources, including declassified documents and military reports, Western Front provides a holistic perspective on U.S. foreign policy, making it valuable for students, scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding U.S. foreign relations.
