Mark Falcoff (born 1941) is an American scholar and policy consultant who has worked with a number of think tanks, such as the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), the Hoover Institution, and the Council on Foreign Relations. The focus of Falcoff's work is Latin America and related US policies. He has authored numerous publication on subjects ranging from the causes of the Juan Perón period of Argentine politics to the controversial US handover of the Panama Canal to Panama. Frederick B. Pike was a Professor of Latin American History at the University of Notre Dame and the author of numerous works. This book is the first major study of the Spanish civil war as an issue in the domestic and foreign policies of the Spanish-speaking nations of the Western Hemisphere. As such, it refracts much that is already familiar to the American reader through a new prism--the world of Spanish-American politics and culture. It also considers the legacy of the war, including large refugee populations and a political tradition of ideological violence that continues to afflict much of Spanish America today. Casting new light on the political life of the region over the last four decades, it constitutes a fresh contribution to the study of the role of Spain in the quest for national and cultural identity in Latin America. A chapter on the United States and the Spanish war places matters in an additional focus--emphasizing the perennial conflict between "Hispanic" and "Anglo-Saxon" poles found in Spanish-American life.
