Praise

“Berryman provides an in-depth analysis of [U.S. policy in Central America].  To fifteen years of direct experience in Panama and Central America as a pastoral worker and later as regional representative of the American Friends Service Committee, he adds a profound historical knowledge and keen political insight.  He here gives us with admirable conciseness and objectivity not only the essential facts, but also a framework of meaning.  He has also outlined alternatives designed to protect legitimate U.S. interests in the region while permitting Central Americans to pursue their search for a just and prosperous society.”
National Catholic Reporter

Inside Central America deserves the attention of every American.  If the message of this important book is not heard and heeded, the United States may have its own Afghanistan in Central America.”
-Robert F. Drinan, S.J.

“A first-rate effort to inject some reason and facts into the national debate over U.S. policy in Central America.  The author…knows [the region], and its peoples’ aspirations to be rid of oppressive governments and foreign domination, deeply…. Berryman begins with a concise history of the region and ends with a chronology of negotiations there between 1980 and 1984.  He writes of a complex event in a clear, simple style…. A useful primer for anyone trying to understand contemporary Central America’s hazardous state.”
