Title: Why Nicaragua Vanished Condition: New Subtitle: A Story of Reporters and Revolutionaries Author: Robert S. Leiken Format: Paperback ISBN-10: 074252342X EAN: 9780742523425 ISBN: 9780742523425 Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers Genre: History Release Date: 09/04/2003 Description: 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.
