The article "The Battle for Latin America" in Diplomatic History discusses Allen Wells's book, Latin America's Democratic Crusade, which argues that the struggle between dictators and democrats, not communists and capitalists, defined Latin American politics in the first half of the twentieth century. Wells challenges existing literature by highlighting the role of moderate reformers in the region's political landscape. The book traces the transnational struggle between democratic activists and dictators, shedding light on key figures and events that shaped Latin American politics from the 1920s to the early 1960s. Wells's work is praised for its comprehensive analysis of the region's political history, making it a significant contribution to the field of Latin American international history.
