Since 1979, United States policy in Central America has been based on an assumption that revolutionary movements led by Marxists must represent a serious threat to U.S. interests and security. On this point, the difference between liberals and conservatives is merely one of emphasis or accent.
Such an assumption is not shared by most governments in Western Europe and Latin America. In part, these countries base their positions on their understanding of the originas of the present crisis—that is, the history, both remote and recent, of Central America.

      This slender handbook on U.S. policy in Central America is at once more and less than readers might expect. It is more in that Berryman's heartfelt critique of U.S. policies in the region does an excellent job of familiarizing readers with the labyrinthine events of recent years. The author believes that U.S. policy requires substantial revision if authentic participatory democracy is to be fostered in the region, and, in the final chapter, he sets out specific recommendations. A "Chronology of Negotiations 1980-1984" and factual "Country Profiles" are valuable guides for general readers. However, such a brief treatment of this complex subject cannot possibly be as complete as the subtitle promises. Readers wishing a more thorough historical analysis should consult Walter LaFeber's Inevitable Revolutions ( LJ 12/1/83). Recommended for public and college libraries.
