Review
“Breaks new ground for the study of peace making and conflict resolution.” —Louis W. Goodman, American University

“An important addition to the existing literature on Salvador politics and regime transition.” —Professor Yvon Grenier


Book Description
Set against the backdrop of the collapsing Cold War world, this monograph draws on entirely new documentary evidence to chronicle 22 months of UN-led peace talks to end the civil war in El Salvador. Presented in "moment-to-moment" fashion, with private notes and interviews from the chief UN, American and Salvadoran negotiators demonstrate that the key to an enduring peace was to overhaul relations between the country's powerful entrepreneurs and the armed forces.
