Somoza Falling A Case Study of Washington at Work

'Carefully examines how our policy toward Nicaragua in 1978-89 emerged, describes the characteristics of the middle players in this decision-making process, and discusses the complexities which govern their two important groups--career officers and political appointees. The result is an insightful, objective, and clear account, based in part on frank interviews and personal experiences, that illustrates both policy-making groups' paradoxical positions and offers precise lessons to be learned from past dealings with Third World revolutions.' --Library JournalLake, Anthony is the author of 'Somoza Falling A Case Study of Washington at Work' with ISBN 9780870237331 and ISBN 0870237330.
