Notes

1. Two essays in a more recent book, U.S. Influence in Latin America in the 1980s, shed more light on the current developments in regard to Cuba and Nicaragua. That of Edward González on Cuba explores the reasons for the failure of the seeming detente of the mid-seventies, a failure that he attributes to the continued Cuban involvement in Africa, especially Ethiopia. Charles D. Ameringer, writing on Nicaragua, sees the breakdown in U.S.-Nicaraguan relations as being due to the alleged support of Nicaragua for the rebels in El Salvador. This volume also contains studies of El Salvador and Panama. See U.S. Influence in Latin America in the 1980s, edited by Robert Wesson (New York: Praeger Publishers, 1982).
