Dark Horses

With Cuba, Panama, Brazil, and other Latin nations so often in the news, it is good to have some solid background on what is happening down there. Castroism and Communism in Latin America (American Enterprise Institute—Hoover Institution, Stanford, Calif. 94305; $4), by William E. Ratliff, provides it.

As Latin American editor of the Yearbook on International Communist Affairs, Ratliff has encyclopedic knowledge of his subject, and uses it to good advantage in this study. He provides a panoramic vision of the swarming Marxist cadres creating havoc in the hemisphere, their strategies for gaining power, and the squabbles that divide them.
