Includes index.
This book is about the crisis of the 1980s in Central America, at the height of the Cold War-style conflict as it was run by the Reagan Administration. Leikin in my reading is a moderate and centrist scholar, and he does a superb job as editor of this volume. His voice argued for balance and was not overly ideological. While this is almost ancient history now, this conflict offers many lessons about the current administration and its policies in Irak.
