Book Reviews of The School of the Americas: Military Training and Political Violence in the Americas (American Encounters/Global Interactions)

Book Review: Fantastic Study of the School of the Assassins
Summary: 5 Stars

This is an extremely well written study of the military training given to soldiers from all over Latin America. It explains how various ideologies have been used over the past sixty years in order to justify military repression of social movements and the quest for democratic institutions. It examine how the original ideology of containing communism morphed into the war on drugs; and finally into the war on terrorism. This should be required reading for any course on foreign relations or international relations.
