Pastor (political science, Emory U.) explains how the governments of Nicaragua and the U.S. learned from mistakes made in the past by the U.S. and Cuba, and found a way to avoid repeating those mistakes.

The fourth part, discussing the events of the democratic transition, has been completely rewritten for the new edition. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
