A comprehensive and visually stunning exploration of the wars in Central and South America from 1900 to 1970, this study presents a wealth of rare and previously unseen images. Spanning from the Banana Wars of the early 20th century to the Football War of 1969, South and Central America has been a hotbed of revolutions, rebellions, and conflicts, ranging from small-scale clashes involving poorly armed Central American armies to full-scale conflicts involving sophisticated militaries equipped with tanks, artillery, and aircraft. These wars often received limited coverage in the West, which was preoccupied with its own challenges during World Wars I and II and the Cold War. This extensively illustrated book sheds light on seven decades of a continent in conflict, offering a unique perspective on a region that is often overlooked in English-language publications.
