This book provides a comprehensive and balanced examination of one of the most divisive yet least understood conflicts of this decade: the Nicaraguan revolution.  The contributors include not only leading Western experts and government officials, but also active participants in the civil war itself: present and former FSLN officials, as well as leaders of competing resistance groups.  In addition to analyzing the roots of the conflict, the authors examine three different dimension - internal, regional, and international - of the present situation and their implications for the future.  The book also contains several key documents, including the little-known FSLN Platform of 1977, the Nicaraguan Constitution of 1986, and the Contadora Act of Peace of 1986, all of which are central to an understanding of recent events.  This timely and even-handed account will be of interest to anyone concerned with contemporary events in Nicaragua, with North-South and East-West issues, and with the future of Central America.

Grenada And Soviet/cuban Policy: Internal Crisis And U.s./oecs Intervention

Soviet Intervention in Czechoslovakia, 1968: Anatomy of a Decision

<p>In this new edition of his highly acclaimed work, Jiri Valenta adds his assessment of Soviet military decisionmaking in the 1980s to his earlier analysis of decisionmaking and crisis management in the Soviet bureaucracy and Warsaw Pact. Comparing the events of 1968 to the Kremlin's very different reaction to reforms now under way in Czechoslovakia and the rest of Eastern Europe, Valenta shows that Soviet politics were never simple. The USSR's foreign policy response to the "Prague Spring," he contends, was the result of a complex political process conditioned by bureaucratic inertia, coalition politics, and East European pressures.</p>
