Inevitable revolutions : the United States in Central America
In "Inevitable Revolutions: The United States in Central America," historian Walter LaFeber examines the complex and often contentious relationship between the U.S. and five Central American nations—Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica. He explores how U.S. economic and military policies have contributed to the region's persistent issues of overpopulation, illiteracy, and violence. LaFeber argues that American notions of economic and military security have reinforced a system of dependency in Central America. The second edition of the book, published in 1993, includes updated material covering the Reagan and Bush administrations, as well as the Iran-Contra affair
