The Banana Wars: United States Intervention In The Caribbean, 1898-1934 Offers A Sweeping Panorama Of America's Tropical Empire In The Age Spanned By The Two Roosevelts And A Detailed Narrative Of U.S. Military Intervention In The Caribbean And Mexico. In This New Edition, Professor Langley Provides An Updated Introduction, Placing The Scholarship In Current Historical Context. From The Perspective Of The Americans Involved, The Empire Carved Out By The Banana Warriors Was A Domain Of Bickering Latin American Politicians, Warring Tropical Countries, And Lawless Societies That The American Military Had Been Dispatched To Police And Tutor. Beginning With The Cuban Experience, Langley Examines The Motives And Consequences Of Two Military Occupations And The Impact Of Those Interventions On A Professedly Antimilitaristic American Government And On Its Colonial Agents In The Caribbean, The American Military. The Result Of The Cuban Experience, Langley Argues, Was Reinforcement Of The View That The American People Did Not Readily Accept Prolonged Military Occupation Of Caribbean Countries.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Drafted while events were fresh in his mind in 19421943, Alabama-born American diplomat George Platt Wallers memoir chronicles his war-time experience in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. In vivid prose, he recalls the outbreak of World War II in September 1939, the Phony War, the German invasion of May 10, 1940, and the Wehrmacht occupation. Intimately involved with the political and public life of this small democratic nation, Waller did not follow Grand Duchess Charlotte and her government into exile. Instead, he remained as long as he could to witness and champion the Luxembourg people, doing his best to rescue the flood of refugees seeking visas and asylum in the United States. Waller bitterly condemns the Nazi civilian administration, its oppressive racial laws, and its attempts to annex the country to Germany under the banner of Heim ins Reich. From his pivotal position as dean of the diplomatic community, representative of the powerful United States; and trusted confidant of leaders, executives, and citizens alike, Waller was privy to information from a wide range of sources: government, military, the church, the professions, the resistance, ordinary people, and refugees. He narrates gripping accounts of individual initiative and courage and exposes the many official hindrances to the timely rescue of refugees. His observations shed new light on life in Luxembourg from 1939 to 1941, when he was finally expelled from the country. The editors introduction places this brief but highly significant memoir in the context of Wallers family background, education, and career, including his dramatic return to Luxembourg at its liberation by American troops in 1944 and his participation in the Grand Duchys postwar renaissance. Extensive annotations and photographs complement the text. American diplomat George Platt Waller's memoir of his experiences in Luxembourg from 1939-1941 reveals the plight of a small neutral country invaded by Nazi Germany. His vivid account of the response of Luxembourgers to war and occupation and his own efforts to help refugees o.
