- Summary:
- "Nationalist dictatorships proliferated around the world during the 1920s and 1930s. American policymakers were primarily concerned with fostering stability in these countries. The dictatorships looked to American corporations and bankers, whose investments cemented the need to support the regimes. Through an examination of records in nine countries, the author describes the logistics and consequences of these relationships"--Provided by publisher.
