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.
