About this title

From the Back Cover:

"Robert Pastor is uniquely qualified to write a definitive book of this kind about the relationship between Nicaragua and the United States . . . what it has been, is now, and what it ought to be. For anyone deeply interested in this crucial subject, Condemned to Repetition is an unequaled source of interesting facts and ideas."--Jimmy Carter

"A significant and revealing work on an issue of continuing great strategic importance to the United States."--Zbigniew Brzezinski

From Library Journal:

The author, who directed Latin American affairs for the National Security Council from 1977 to 1981, makes a valuable addition to the literature on U.S.-Nicaraguan relations. He provides an insider's view of how Latin American policy was made; an analysis of what might have changed the outcome in Nicaragua; and how the United States should deal with future succession crises. The only weakness of this well-written, objective analysis is that, although the author recognizes the importance of past policies, he does not effectively demonstrate how they limit U.S. choices in a crisis. Highly recommended for informed readers and specialists. Roderic A. Camp, Central Coll., Pella, Ia.
