Washington, DC: Institute for Policy Studies, 1985. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Wraps. iii, [1]68 pages. Illustrations. Preface by George McGovern. Several text pages creased. Paperclip mark/impression on several pages. This was produced by the The Central America Crisis Monitoring Team and the members were identified on page ii. Includes Preface and Introduction, as well as chapters on Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala. Also includes an appendix on Possible Violations of Law. The authors assert that escalating U.S. involvement in Central America has spawned a credibility gap that threatens the constitutional order. Whether testifying on the state of human rights in El Salvador and Guatemala, the scope of CIA activities targeted against the government of Nicaragua, or the scale of the growing U.S. military buildup in Honduras, Reagan Administration officials have misled Congress about the nature of its activities and goals in Central America. The disturbingly systematic record of such deceit has prompted this report. The weighty accumulation of deception practiced by the Reagan Administration underscores a fundamental reality of United states policy towards Central America: the nature of the regimes and movements bolstered by U.S. Assistance, and the Administration's ultimate policy goals for the entire region, are repugnant to basic U.S. values. It is only through deception that the American people may be beguiled into accepting the current policy, and the Congress may by manipulated into legitimating escalating intervention. More

Mohsin Hamid (born 23 July 1971) is a British Pakistani novelist and writer. His novels are Moth Smoke, The Reluctant Fundamentalist, How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia, Exit West, and The Last White Man. His novel, The Reluctant Fundamentalist, told the story of a Pakistani man who decides to leave his high-flying life in America after a failed love affair and the terrorist attacks of 9/11. It reached No. 4 on the New York Times Best Seller list. It won several awards including the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award and the Asian American Literary Award, and was translated into over 25 languages. The novel used the unusual device of a dramatic monologue in which the Pakistani protagonist continually addresses an American listener who is never heard from directly. According to one commentator, because of this technique: maybe we the readers are the ones who jump to conclusions; maybe the book is intended as a Rorschach to reflect back our unconscious assumptions. In our not knowing lies the novel's suspense... Hamid literally leaves us at the end in a kind of alley, the story suddenly suspended; it's even possible that some act of violence might occur. But more likely, we are left holding the bag of conflicting worldviews. We're left to ponder the symbolism of Changez having been caught up in the game of symbolism?a game we ourselves have been known to play. Hamid said of The Reluctant Fundamentalist: "I'd rather people read my book twice than only half-way through." More
