The Tango War: The Struggle for the Hearts, Minds and Riches of Latin America During World War II by Mary Jo McConahay

4.0

So many stories here that I had never heard before: how Latin America had millions of people with German ancestry well before WW2, how different countries reacted to US demands to turn people with Japanese ancestry over for internment in US camps, how different countries reacted to the many Jewish Latin Americans, how spies infiltrated government and Hollywood positions, how the state department liked Walt Disney's predominantly white version of Latin American better than Orson Wells' more honest depiction, how the Catholic church was instrumental in enabling Nazi war criminal to escape to Latin America.

The stories are told through both research and interviews with those who experienced this period.
