Description

This almanac compiles the most historically significant events in Latin America and the Caribbean from 1800-2020, containing vignettes of more than 700 events organized per month and specific calendar day, with a foreword from Admiral James Stavridis. It focuses on major political and security incidents starting from the period of independence—including armed conflicts, famous battles, births and deaths of important figures, military coups, significant presidential elections, and independence dates.Also included are detailed appendices addressing important economic, political, and social conditions as well as an index of over 2,000 keywords. Even the most seasoned Latin American historian will find something new in this reference. Written by a historian and former naval diplomat to the region who brings a wealth of experience to the table, the almanac has particular value to policymakers, military personnel, and diplomatic officers interested in Latin America.
