DESCRIPTION - In 1979 the Nicaraguan Sandinistas overthrew the forces of dictator Anastasio Somoza and announced plans for social and economic reform. Within two years the small Central American country became the target of a massive U.S. effort to topple the Sandinista-led government. This undeclared war has resulted in thousands of deaths, severe economic hardship, and war-related atrocities. Why has the United States poured hundreds of millions of dollars into the most aggressive military action undertaken in Central America in recent history? Addressing this question, Nicaragua: Unfinished Revolution presents a timely and vivid compendium of the most important articles, policy statements, eyewitness reports, documents, and opinions on the crisis. The editors cover the issues that make headline news and provide a key to an understanding of the conflict U.S. debates on CIA intervention and funding for the contras, reports of contra atrocities, peace proposals presented by the Contadora nations, the Kissinger Commission Report on Central America, and the ongoing allegations of Cuban, Soviet, and Nicaraguan threats to the security of the region. Included are: Policy statements from the Reagan and Ortega administrations; Eyewitness accounts of the fighting; Background to the current conflict, including the roles of the press, the Catholic Church, the Miskitu Indians, and the Central Intelligence Agency; Critical analyses of various aspects of Nicaragua today, including destabilization, militarization, agrarian reform, health care, culture, and the literacy campaign. inventory #13572 Very Good in Worn and Torn Dustjacket.
