Naval War College Review

Volume 39, Number 4 (1986) Autumn


This colorful recruiting poster painted by James H. Daugherty, is intended to entice unsophisticated but adventurous young men into the Navy early in this century. It illustrates both Captain Ariel M. Rosas 's observation in this issue that "the United States treated Latin America throughout most of the 19th century and early 20th century as its private backyard, to do with as it wished," and Professor Donald A. Yerxa's discussion of the old Special Service Squadron through which a reluctant U.S . Navy attempted to carry out unsought duties in the Caribbean and Central America. This edition also carries an article on a current issue in Central American waters, that by M. Elizabeth Gunn on arms interdiction.
