The turmoil in the Caribbean and Central America does not have a
single cause; it results from both indigenous factors and outside
intervention. Some liberals see revolution as the result of poverty
and injustice and ignore the East-West security dimensions of the
problem, the role of Leninist ideology, and the actions of the
Soviet Union and its allies. Some conservatives point to the evil
machinations of the Kremlin and its proxies to explain revolution
and ignore the economic, social, and political roots of discontent.
In reality, however, causes of revolution are both internal and
external. This volume is a collection from a conference at the
Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California on August 15-18,
1984 and tells much more about Soviet/Cuban strategy and tactics in
the Third World than was known before. It also provides a useful
corollary to recommendations put forward by the Bipartisan
Commission. For all of these reasons, this work should be read not
only by scholars, but also by policymakers, analysts, and all
discerning readers who care about America's role in the world. The
purposes of the meeting were (1) to generate scholarly examination
of documents captured during the U.S.fEast Caribbean forces'
intervention in Grenada in October 1983, so as to determine the
causes of the bloody coup in Grenada and the impact of the
intervention on Soviet/Cuban politics in the Caribbean Basin and
other areas of the Third World; and (2), to examine in bipartisan
fashion U.S. options for countering Soviet/Cuban adventurism. Both
objectives were met
