Customer Reviews

Informative and factual

This is probably the best book I've seen about Nicaragua and the Cold War during the 1980's. I did a research project there for several months and found Kagan's book to be very helpful and very accurate. Too bad it's out of print.

Very Complete

A very describetive account of USA intervention in Nicaragua begginning with The Knox Letter ending with the closing of the Iran-Contra scandal. Before picking up this book you should relize that it is very long and VERY detailed; however, it is very interesting if you are at all interested in the cold war. (note: also helped raised my SAT vocabulary score to a 700)
