Pointing to the dramatic changes in Soviet policy in Latin America over the past few years, the authors demonstrate that the fear of Soviet penetration of the region, which drove US policy during the Cold War, has become groundless. Although not ignoring the continuing tensions between Cuba and the US, they argue that it is time for the US to adapt its Latin America policy to the post-Cold War Era.
