Overview
Robert Pastor was a major participant in U.S. policy making toward Nicaragua in the critical period leading up to and following the revolution. In a balanced and analytical search for answers to what happened between the two nations, he presents a wealth of original material from his own experience, classified government documents, and interviews with nearly 100 policy makers from the United States, Nicaragua, and throughout Latin America.Pastor shows how America has repeated many of the same actions in Nicragua as it did in Cuba.

Library Journal
The author, who directed Latin American affairs for the National Security Council from 1977 to 1981, makes a valuable addition to the literature on U.S.-Nicaraguan relations. He provides an insider's view of how Latin American policy was made; an analysis of what might have changed the outcome in Nicaragua; and how the United States should deal with future succession crises. The only weakness of this well-written, objective analysis is that, although the author recognizes the importance of past policies, he does not effectively demonstrate how they limit U.S. choices in a crisis. Highly recommended for informed readers and specialists. Roderic A. Camp, Central Coll., Pella, Ia.Book Details
