Cover illustration by Matt Mahurin. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Each day, the headlines expose yet another shocking case in which the United States, sailing under the banner of freedom and democracy for all, has actually thwarted progress toward the securing of human rights for the people of Latin America. The evidence collected in this volume not only documents in unmistakable detail the facts of life in that region’s nine most tumultuous countries, but more important, demonstrates how the Reagan administration has blatantly abused, ignored, or misrepresented concern for human rights in pursuing its military and political goals there. Drawing heavily on Americas Watch’s on-site investigations, With Friends Like These reports the up-to-the-minute status of human rights in Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, Colombia, and Peru. How valid are the new guarantees (ours and theirs) of free expression, personal security, and due process? What are the real connections between the military and death-squad activity? Where do ‘free elections’ fit in on the political and economic trajectories of each country? To which sides, and to what ends, is the United States offering funds, arms, and sympathy—and why do our government’s ‘facts’ often vary so widely from independently reported accounts? This is a powerful, persuasive rebuttal to the rhetoric of convenience by which the American government justifies policies that support torture, repression, and fundamental abuses of human life abroad. inventory #1785 ISBN: 0394729498., 0<
