Mexico, Soviet Russia, and the United States in the 1920s

Produktbeschreibung

""The Impossible Triange" succeeds on many levels, but perhaps none more than in its innovative trilateral approach. The Mexico that emerges from Spenser's narrative is both object--of the unequal struggle for influence between the United States and the Soviet Union--and subject, capable of dealing with these two 'courtiers' on its own terms. This engagingly-told story reminds us of the radical contingencies thrown up by the Bolshevik Revolution and how that revolution permanently altered the conduct of international relations."--Lewis Siegelbaum, Michigan State University
