Library Journal Review

Who are the Contras, the anti-Sandinista forces that President Reagan is determined to support? Eich, head of West Germany's Development Agency in Nicaragua, and Dr. Rincon, formerly of UNESCO, have interviewed Contras from the prisons of Nicaragua as well as from training camps in the United States and Central America. Along with those once of Somoza's National Guard, anxious to regain their easy lives of luxury, are some uneducated peasants ``recruited'' into the movement. What is truly chilling about this book is its presentation of evidence that by backing the Contras, the United States puts itself into the same camp with such brutal regimes as the generals in Argentina now under indictment for crimes against humanity. Most suitable for large academic collections. Louise Leonard, Univ. of Florida Lib., Gaines ville (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
