DESCRIPTION - Tom Buckley, long of The New York Times, has written the most complete and objective report to date on Central America and Mexico, and their relations with the United States, down to the present. It is the compelling story of a crucial region that has been 'sunk in brutality and injustice and soaked with blood since the time of the conquistadores.' Mr. Buckley brings to VIOLENT NEIGHBORS long experience in reporting from other trouble spots, including Vietnam. He writes tersely and vividly, with flashes of irony and mordant wit, drawing on a wealth of firsthand experience, interviews, and anecdotes. VIOLENT NEIGHBORS traces the history of the region from Columbus's discovery through 350 years of Spanish rule and 160 years of anarchic independence, down to the present insurrection in El Salvador and the escalating war in Nicaragua that is being sponsored by the United States. The reader is shown the bizarre way in which El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua have been governed. Neither authoritarian nor totalitarian, the governments are criminal conspiracies like the Mafia in which the sole objective of the governing class is to enrich themselves by any means possible at the expense of the governed. As the author points out, these are countries in which the military rules either directly or behind the scenes, protecting its own interests and those of the native oligarchies and foreign investors. Corruption, coups, and rebellions are a way of life, and legality and social justice are all but unknown. VIOLENT NEIGHBORS traces the involvement of the United States in Central America. It describes in detail the CIA's overthrow of the freely elected Arbenz government in Guatemala, the memorable failure of President John F. Kennedy's poorly conceived Alliance for Progress, and the missed opportunities in the 1970's to help create democratic governments in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Nicaragua. But VIOLENT NEIGHBORS is much more than an indictment of corrupt governments and of an American policy that has been ambivalent or worse. We are shown the very real problems in trying to deal with instability in a region of undoubted strategic importance to the United States. Full-length portraits of the major figures in the Central American drama are presented. Among them are El Salvador's Jose Napoleon Duarte, the closest thing to a hero in the book, and his rival, Roberto D'Aubuisson, 'with eyes cold as death'; Tomas Borge, the last surviving founder of the Sandinista movement; Jose Figueres, the creator of modern Costa Rica, the only functioning democracy in the region; and EfraIn Rios Montt, the born-again Protestant who held power for eighteen months in Guatemala. They are merely a few of the scores of politicians and priests, soldiers and guerrillas, peasants and landowners who help bring the savage and complex world of Violent Neighbors to brilliant life. inventory #1810.…
