Why read it?

1 author picked Twilight Struggle as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Penned by a conservative scholar who held a high-level Latin America foreign policy position in the Reagan administration, I don’t always agree with Kagan’s logic or evidence.

From Russell's list on U.S. involvement in Latin America.
