Paired Lives in Latin America’s Cold War takes an approachable biographical approach to teaching the history of the Cold War in Latin America and provides a unique overview to a period that is steeped in reform, revolution, and repression. The chosen pairs from major countries represent the vast number of leaders, intellectuals, and “ordinary people” who all hoped for significant socioeconomic transformation of one kind or another. Such figures include presidents, revolutionary leaders, army generals, a founder of the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, democracy and union activists from countries such as Chile, the Dominican Republic, Brazil, Argentina, and Nicaragua._x000D_
