“Here at last is an accounting of the real cost of global intervention—a cost whose burden falls heaviest upon low-income women, children, minorities, and the unemployed.”—Barbara Ehrenreich
“In their perceptive analysis of the budget, Cohen and Rogers reveal the essence of the Reaganite program: enrich the wealthy, oppress the poor, and eliminate, by violence if necessary, any threat to this conception of domestic and world order. As they demonstrate, the people of Central America have been selected as the prime victims of a program that is global in intent. Their analysis exposes with great clarity the true face of the reactionary jingoism that currently shapes state policy.”—Noam Chomsky
