Johnson. Both leaders considered modernization to be integral to political and economic development, and the US Embassy in Santiago was recognized by all parties to be the center of this modernizing agenda and the practical work of the Alliance for Progress (AFP). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHurtado-Torres portrays the diplomatic and economic relationship between Chile and the United States in a manner that departs from the most militant and conservative interpretations of US foreign policy toward Latin America. By focusing on the active participation of agents of US foreign policy--particularly those associated with the AFP--and not secret operatives of the Central Intelligence Agency, Hurtado-Torres offers a fresh narrative about a critical period in Chilean political history and a new understanding of the ways and means through which the foreign policy of the United States was carried out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sebasti疣 Hurtado-Torres\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501747185\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501747182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornell University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.30w x 1.20d","brand":"Sebasti疣 Hurtado-Torres","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43985274110207,"sku":"9781501747182","price":52.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_64e9f3d2-579a-4670-b1fa-97e68e494237.jpg?v=1683276589","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-gathering-storm-sebasti-n-hurtado-torres-9781501747182","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
