About this product
Product Information
In 1990, Nicaragua's Sandinista government was toppled in an election that every major American news organization and pollster predicted they would win in a landslide. Why the Nicaraguan upset and why did the U.S. media get it so wrong? Through an examination of American coverage of Nicaragua since the Cuban Revolution, Why Nicaragua Vanished provides intriguing answers to these questions, and for the first time tests media coverage of a major foreign policy crisis against an independent analysis of the events covered. Robert S. Leiken offers valuable insights into how the media shapes Americans' opinions about the world, and in the process he challenges American cultural stereotypes. Beautifully written, Why Nicaragua Vanished is perfect for all interested in the media, foreign policy, Latin America, or U.S. intellectual life.

Provides intriguing answers to these questions and for the first time tests media coverage of a major foreign policy crisis against an independent analysis of the events covered. Beautifully written, Why Nicaragua Vanished is perfect for all interested in the media, foreign policy, Latin America, or U.S. intellectual life., Robert Leiken has been seeking and telling the truth about events in Nicaragua for more than 20 years. Not everyone else has done so. Here is his report on what he has learned, and what everyone interested in Nicaragua should know., Robert Leiken has produced a masterpiece of serious scholarship, sound reasoning, and lucid writing. His detailed examination of media bias should have a profound impact on the way Americans view news coverage of foreign policy, and, one hopes, on the way journalists view themselves., What really happened in Nicaragua? Robert Leiken analyzes the shocking misreporting of American journalists and their failure to understand why the Sandinistas lost in 1990. Written with verve and calm, his account will open your eyes to a parade of media stereotypes. Though not an angry book, it will make a reasonable person angry.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
