Our Man in Panama: How General Noriega Used the United States and Made Millions in Drugs and Arms"One consequence of the recent U.S. invasion of Panama has been that this book was rushed into print, with no preview copies, for a March 1990 publication date. Dinges, who reports for National Public Radio, describes in considerable detail the fascinating and appalling relationship between Noriega and the U.S. government. Much of this material was derived from previously classified documents, supplemented by Congressional hearings and interviews. Dinges has taken great care to verify his sources; hearsay, gossip, and questionable testimony is not presented here. Although light on analysis, this work takes a generally critical view of the U.S. involvement in Panamanian affairs. The 1989 invasion is briefly discussed in the book's epilog. A similar study, Wall Street Journal reporter Frederick Kempe's Divorcing the Dictator: America's Bungled Affair with Noriega (rushed into a February 1990 release by Putnam) provides a fuller account of the invasion and capture of Noriega." - Library Journal CONTENTS: A Note on Sources; Raid; Kid from Terraplen; Operational Control; Treaty Game; Central American Casablanca; Guns to Drugs; Our Man in Panama; Margin by Fraud; Remember Me When the Bomb Explodes...; Washington v.

Assassination on Embassy Row

Writing and Readers Publishing Cooperative Ltd.

Throughout the 1970s, six Latin American governments led by Chile formed a military alliance called Operation Condor to carry out kidnappings, torture, and political assassinations across three continents. It was an early “war on terror” initially encouraged by the CIA which later backfired on the United States. Hailed by Foreign Affairs as “remarkable” and “a major contribution to the historical record,” The Condor Years uncovers the unsettling facts about the secret U.S. relationship with the dictators who created this terrorist organization. Written by award-winning journalist John Dinges and newly updated to include recent developments in the prosecution of Pinochet, the book is a chilling but dispassionately told history of one of Latin America’s darkest eras. Dinges, himself interrogated in a Chilean torture camp, interviewed participants on both sides and examined thousands of previously secret documents to take the reader inside this underground world of military operatives and diplomats, right-wing spies and left-wing revolutionaries.

The Condor Years: How Pinochet And His Allies Brought Terrorism To Three Continents

A completely updated edition--based on recently declassified archives and judicial investigations--of the story of the covert, U.S.-backed "anti-terrorist" network responsible for South America's worst human rights abuses First published nearly twenty years ago, distinguished journalist John Dinges's "scrupulous, well-documented, and indignant" (Washington Post) Condor Years blew the lid off a secret intelligence-sharing, torture, and assassination program named Operation Condor, which helped Latin American dictatorships stay in power for a decade--all with the blessing of the United States. In the ensuing years, Dinges has closely tracked a series of groundbreaking judicial investigations--and resulting trials of military officers--in Argentina and Chile, and gained access to the largest-ever trove of CIA and FBI files on Latin America, which were declassified in 2019. Delving into the full documentary record of this most pivotal period in Latin American history, Dinges undertook a major revision of his original book, creating this riveting new edition, of which over 75 percent is completely new material. A "major contribution to the historical record" (Foreign Affairs), The Condor Years is now the definitive story of Latin American dictatorships and repression, with extensive new material on the U.S. role, new revelations about targeted assassinations and collaboration between different nations' security and intelligence services, and the fullest accounting to date of the victims of this global program of terror. It is crucial reading for anyone who is seeking to understand Latin America today and the U.S.'s enabling of autocratic governments in our neighbors to the south.
