Summary:

The relationship between Mexico and the United States has never been an easy one. Mexicans often feel resentment toward their rich and powerful neighbor, while U.S. attitudes and policy often seem to be formed under the aegis of what Octavio Paz called 'the twin sisters of ignorance and arrogance.' In this comprehensive account of recent developments in this relationship, and the ways in which internal developments in each country have affected the other, Sidney Weintraub helps dispel and doubt about each country's importance to the other and hence the need for mutual respect and a realistic assessment of each other's needs.
