From Library Journal
Arnson, a foreign policy consultant, has written an incisive study of the tug-of-war between President Reagan and Congress and how the circumvention of Congress's ban on military aid culminated in the Iran-contra scandal. At first, the Reagan administration depicted the contras as freedom fighters and the Sandinistas as ferrying arms to the rebels in El Salvador. When both proved false, Reagan adopted a popular anti-Communist stance, and the real aim of overthrowing the Sandinistas and reinstating Somoza's old guard became clear. It was the means, not the end, of ridding the area of undemocratic regimes, that separated Congress from the Oval Office. Central America was caught in the crossfire as blatant abuse of executive authority threatened the checks-and-balances system of the Constitution. Too intensive for casual reading, this will appeal more to scholars and specialists in the field.
