Summary:
Is the American legacy of the Cold War a lesson for today? As the War on Terror has brought America's foreign policy to the forefront of the world's consciousness, there is a clear polarisation of 'us' and 'them'. From the Vietnam War, to Laos in the 1970s, to George Bush Senior's invasion of Panama a decade ago, America's actions abroad have had a major impact across the globe. Ben Anderson travels through the jungles of Asia to the slums of Panama and on to Nicaragua, El Salvador and Honduras. It is a journey in the footprints of American soldiers and politicians and an examination of the challenges to come.
