Perhaps the most illuminating document ever published on American foreign policy in Nicaragua, this book represents a full spectrum of critical perspectives. The first is that of Henry Stimson, whose memoirs as a special envoy to Nicaragua were first published in 1927. They are reprinted here in their entirety, together with a critical reaction by the New York Times. Then as now, we read about a president named Chamorro, a revolutionary named Sandino, and U.S.-supervised elections. Stimson was commissioned to bring peace and democracy to Nicaragua; most Nicaraguans still think he brought only the marines and the Somoza dictatorship. Responding to Stimson is Paul H. Beeker, former ambassador to Bolivia and Jordan, who comments on Stimson's mission and its consequences for today's American foreign policy. Alan Brinkley's essay on Stimson's privileged life, character, stunning career, and political influence provides an analytical backdrop to Stimson's attitudes and actions during his Nicaragua mission. The article "The Code of the WASP Wanior" by Evan Thomas underscores historical and personal connections between Henry Stimson and George Bush, in their social and decision-making capacities. Finally, Andres Perez presents a stinging assessment from a Nicaraguan point of view. Also included is the full text of a report by the U.S. State Department, "The United States and Nicaragua: A Survey of the Relations from 1909 to 1932."
