Cynthia Arnson incorporates substantial amounts of new primary source and recently declassified material coming out of the Iran-Contra trials and other Freedom of Information Act requests in this new edition of Crossroads. She also includes an entirely new chapter that carries the story of the Nicaragua and El Salvador policy debates to the end of the Bush Administration.

Industry Reviews

“Arnson, a Washington-based expert on Central America, sets the standard of scholarship for studies of U.S. politics and this country’s involvement in El Salvador and Nicaragua during the Reagan years.”
