Tom Barry (2) (1950–)

Inside El Salvador usefully traces the trajectory of political, economic, and social trends from the historical roots, through the years of conflict and into their manifestation in the post-conflict period. From its post-war vantage point, it sheds new light on aspects of the conflict years and highlights the challenges and the complexities of the transition from world to peace.

A clearly written and critical study of Costa Rica's achievements in social welfare and political participation and its contribution to the Central American peace process. Packed with information that will interest specialists and concerned citizens alike.

This book is not easy reading. It is full of reliable factual information about modern El Salvador - a complicated and fascinating story - but presented in a dull, boring way. It reads like it was written by a computer or a robot. It's a valuable reference.

This book provides vital information on Central America's least-studied and least-understood nation. Besides accurate, solid analysis of political and socio-economic developments, some of the material is not available anywhere else.
