Trade and Gunboats: The United States and Brazil in the Age of EmpireThis book is the first study of U. S. Brazilian relations that seriously examines the internal politics and economics of both countries and how they played themselves out in the late nineteenth century. The author attempts a new kind of international history, comparative political economy, that examines not only internal dynamics but also the nature of the international regime at the time.
