Us Politics, Propaganda And The Afghan Mujahedeen: Domestic Politics And The Afghan War

de Jacqueline Fitzgibbon

38,15€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Influential fundraising groups and senators in the US made enormous efforts in the First Afghan War to present the Mujahedeen as ''freedom fighters'' - even while the CIA secretly armed them with surface to air missiles and other weapons. A mass propaganda effort was launched, aimed at portraying parts of Afghanistan as victims of communist aggression. As we know now, many of those groups that were armed became the seedbeds for organisations like Al-Qaeda. Dr Jacqueline Fitzgibbon, through a forensic investigation of the American PR of the period, argues that this militarised and fractured Afghan society for a generation - partly resulting in the mess today. This book will look specifically at the American efforts to suppress any reports which showed these forces as anti-western or anti ''American values'', and instead to portray the arming of partisan groups, often an extremely dangerous course of action, as an example of American values in action.

Us And Latin America - Eisenhower, Kennedy And Economic Diplomacy In The Cold War

de Bevan Sewell

40,53€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The US in the 1950s and 1960s wanted to prevent a new communist regime in the Western hemisphere at any cost. Under President Eisenhower the US pursued a policy of support for dictators, the economic shoring up of regimes that impoverished their own people and sanctioned direct interventions such as the overthrow of the Guatemalan government in 1954. When John F. Kennedy came to power, he promised a reset of relations and set about pouring aid into Latin America. Yet in 1961 Kennedy also attempted to intervene in Central American domestic politics with the Bay of Pigs operation. How far was each of the approaches pursued by the two administrations responsible for increasing tensions and encouraging radicalism on the continent? In answering this question Bevan Sewell shows how Eisenhower''s strategic stance on the Cold War became increasingly detrimental to Latin America over time, and shows how similar policies were continued by the Kennedy administration. The US and Latin America provides a new lens through which to assess US policy towards Latin America at an important time in inter-American relations.
