<p>New York Times Book Review:"Though the events in Bitter Fruit happened almost 28 years ago, there is an intriguing similarity to some of the phrase-making of the State Department in Central America today... It is a tale of dirty tricks, the manipulation of public opinion, the smearing of the precious few journalists who managed to sense what was really going on and of foreign policy that borrowed more from Doonesbury than diplomacy. It is a fast-paced and well-documented story... A thoughtful and compelling book."Newsweek:"It's a fantastic yarn - yet it all actually happened. This startling book tells, for the first time, the whole squalid story... Schlesinger's and Kinzer's meticulously documented history reads like a cloak-and-dagger thriller. Given current events... it also reads like a very timely warning of what can happen when America abuses its power."</p>
