Negotiating Peace in El Salvador: Civil-Military Relations and the Conspiracy to End the War

by Tricia Juhn

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.
