"Useful review of Peru's foreign policy, primarily with its Latin American neighbors, during a difficult time in the nation's diplomatic and military relations with surrounding nations. Covers the era of the Tacna and Arica settlement with Chile, the Leticia dispute with Colombia, and the border war with Ecuador and subsequent Rio de Janeiro Protocol (Jan. 1942). Peru's close cooperation with the US during WW II is a key point of discussion. Can be seen as an updated and Peruvian version of James Carey's study written nearly 30 years ago and covering the same time frame"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
