Inevitable Revolutions
The United States in Central America
Second Edition
14 April 1993
Description
Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica are five small countries, and yet no other part of the world is more important to the US.
This book explains the history of US/Central American relations,
explaining why these countries have remained so overpopulated,
illiterate and violent; and why US government notions of economic and
military security combine to keep in place a system of Central American
dependency. This second edition is updated to include new material
covering the Reagan and Bush years, and the Iran/Contra affair.
