Abstract
Assertions that Nicaragua’s policies and political dispositions threaten U.S. security, critiques of that claim, and assessment of Soviet and Cuban activities and capabilities in Central America are represented in this unusual collection. Not intended to be dispassionate volume, the book presents lively and informed argument-a diversity of views and evidence-so that the reader may judge the charges and counter-charges and formed independent opinion. An extensive bibliography is included.
