Review
Every day headlines add new elements to the controversial question of how Washington should deal with Central America. The editors of "Confronting Revolution" answer with words in the subtitle: "through diplomacy." The United States, these essays by 15 contributors say, should abandon its "hegemonic strategic vision" and adopt "a policy of principled realism." Not everybody will agree with the proposed alternatives for dealing with Central America, but the book clearly sets forth the problems the United States faces there.
--New York Times Book Review
"We in the United States know so little about Central America, and ignorance feeds our policy failures. Confronting Revolution explains the reasons for turbulence in the region. With clarity and conviction it argues the case for change in U.S. policies that have prolonged misery for Central Americans and anxiety for us."
--Anthony Lewis
From Library Journal
Beginning in 1982, the 15 contributors to this volume debated, and subsequently wrote up, their views of U.S. foreign policy in Central America. The book's value lies in the fact that it is nonpartisan, that the contributors worked two years to integrate their essays, and that it offers a pragmatic version of security though diplomacy. Coverage includes individual countries, outside actors, and U.S. foreign policy towards the region. The authors believe that East-West conflict is secondary, that diplomacy is the key solution to peace, that we should rarely act unilaterally, and that our principles should be applied equally to all countries. Recommended for most libraries. Roderic A. Camp, Latin American Studies Dept., Central Coll., Pella, Ia.
