Summary
"This study examines the Reagan administration's proxy war against Nicaragua and its use of the emergent threat of international terrorism as a pretext. It also analyzes the administration's conception of international law and argues that its Nicaragua policy set a precedent for the U.S. War on Terror in the twenty-first century."--Provided by publisher.
