BUSH’S ‘BIG STICK’ FOREIGN POLICY

Posted by Jeremy Brecher

October 14, 2003   It was called “The Big Stick.” Between 1890 and 1930, we sent our armed forces to intervene in Latin America more than 30 times. Those actions harvested a legacy of hatred and shame. In 1933, newly elected President Franklin D. Roosevelt announced that he would replace the “Big Stick” with a… Read More »

ABOUT JEREMY BRECHER

11You and I may not know each other, but I suspect there are some problems that we share -- problems like climate change, war, and injustice. For half a century I have been participating in and writing about social movements that address those problems. The purpose of this website is to share what I've learned. I hope it provides something of use to you in addressing our common problems.

For the record, I am the author of more than a dozen books on labor and social movements. I have written and/or produced more than twenty video documentaries. I have participated in movements for nuclear disarmament, civil rights, peace in Vietnam, international labor rights, global economic justice, accountability for war crimes, climate protection, and many others.
