It's No Secret: Israel's Military Involvement in Central America

this one sounds interesting. giz a review....

[Elvis]

Its very detailed, and uses mainstream primary sources.

In the intro, the authors explain that they referred to the mainstream press purposefully to communicate the book's ideas to a wider audience.

Check it out, buy it used. Very informative.

It's a great rebuttal to the inane defense of Israel's PR extravaganza in Haiti. People seem to think that States have 'morals'.

Oh and it helps to know about Guatemalan history during this timeframe and especially who Efrain Rios Montt is.
