Neuberger, Guenter and Opperskalski, Michael. CIA in Mittelamerika.
Goettingen, Germany: Lamuv Verlag Gmbh, 1983. 206 pages.
As Reagan geared up in Nicaragua in 1981, the handful of anti-CIA
researchers in the U.S. saw the writing on the wall and began to curtail
their practice of publishing the names of CIA officers posted abroad. But
West German journalist Guenter Neuberger was beyond the reach of the law
that made naming names illegal, and his research continued. At a press
conference in Costa Rica he released the names of more than 200 alleged
CIA officers in Central America, with career summaries compiled from State
Department Biographic Registers and various diplomatic and foreign service
lists. This research format was in the tradition of "Dirty Work" (covering
Western Europe) and "Dirty Work 2" (Africa) by U.S. researchers, each of
which named many hundreds of CIA officers in the late 1970s.
In 1983 Neuberger expanded his list with another 100 names and placed
them all in an appendix to "CIA in Mittelamerika." The bulk of the book
consists of essays on U.S. intervention in various Central American
countries, but most of these are based on research that first appeared in
English publications already in NameBase. For this reason -- and also
because our German is rusty -- we restricted our inputting to the appendix.
