Book Overview: In many ways Mexico is the link between the United States and Latin America. It is the United States' strongest political and trading partner to the south and the source of a wide range of cultural influences north of its border. But while Mexico may seem to be a familiar place, there is much more to this vibrant, complex nation than most people may realize.
