Central American Wars 1959-89 Paperback - 1990

by Carlos Caballero Jurado; Simon McCouaig (Illustrator); Nigel Thomas


From the publisher

Once predicted to be 'the Middle East of the Year 2000', Central America and the Caribbean have long been a powder keg of revolutionary activity and guerilla warfare. The United States, with important strategic and economic interests in the region, has traditionally opted for a military solution toward the political upheaval, developing a range of responses, from direct military intervention to the training of tens of thousands of Latin-American soldiers in anti-guerilla warfare techniques. This text, enhanced by colour plates and numerous photographs, examines the history of the Central American Wars by country, from 1959 to 1989, detailing the organization and uniforms of the combatants.

First line

In the conflicts covered in this text we will not encounter huge tank battles, savage aerial combats nor bold naval operations.
