In "Central America in the Crosshairs of War," Scott Wallace provides a compelling account of how misguided and illegal US policies in Central America during the 1980s resulted in tens of thousands of deaths, created many of today’s problems along America’s southern border, and helped perpetuate a legacy of hawkish militarism. Wallace provides a rare look into the real-life consequences of morally dubious policies while offering a gripping account of his experiences as a field reporter.
