Sklar, Holly. Washington's War on Nicaragua. Boston: South End Press,
1988. 472 pages.
This is one of the most comprehensive, well-documented treatments of
U.S. policy in Nicaragua from Carter through the Reagan years. It includes
official policies and activities as well as those of the quasi-private
cutouts and the right-wing support network. Then there's gun and drug
running, contra atrocities, William Casey and the CIA, Oliver North's
enterprise, Congressional opposition, domestic surveillance of U.S.
Sandinista supporters, the psywar media campaign, and finally the Iran-
contra scandal. There are almost 1500 end notes and a bibliography with
143 sources.
