Covering the period from the Nicaraguan Sandinistas’ victory until their loss of power, this work examines the Soviet Union’s pragmatic foreign policy goals with regards to Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala, and, of course, america. Contrary to the shrill cries of “Soviet expansionism” emanating from the United States White House right through this period, the creator finds that the Soviets had no intention of establishing client socialist regimes right through this period, as an alternative it is argued that the policy was once an try to distract america in it is own backyard right through a time of increasing Soviet policy failure. Also explored are the role of Cuba in the region, the perceptions of Cuban actions by US leaders, and the failure of the Soviet Union to make Cuba act in accord with Soviet foreign policy goals.
