Synopsis "Eclipse of the Assassins: The Cia, Imperial Politics, and the Slaying of Mexican Journalist Manuel Buendia (in English)"
This is a stellar, courageous work of investigative journalism and historical scholarship--grippingly told, meticulously documented, and doggedly pursued over thirty years. Tracking a Cold War confrontation that has compromised the national interests of both Mexico and the United States, Eclipse of the Assassins exposes deadly connections among historical events usually remembered as isolated episodes. Authors Russell and Sylvia Bartley shed new light on the U.S.-instigated "dirty wars" that ravaged all of Latin America in the 1960s, '70s, and '80s and reveal--for the first time--how Mexican officials colluded with Washington in its proxy contra war against the Sandinista government of Nicaragua. They draw together the strands of a clandestine web linking: the assassination of prominent Mexican journalist Manuel Buendíathe torture and murder of U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agent Enrique Camarenathe Iran-Contra scandala major DEA sting against key CIA-linked Bolivian, Panamanian, and Mexican drug traffickersCIA-orchestrated suppression of investigative journalistscriminal collusion of successive U.S. and Mexican administrations that has resulted in the unprecedented power of drug kingpins like "El Chapo" Guzmán. Eclipse of the Assassins places a major political crime--the murder of Buendía--in its full historical perspective and shows how the dirty wars of the past are still claiming victims today.
