Book Synopsis
In 1979, with El Salvador growing ever more unstable, the US undertook a counterinsurgency intervention that would become Washington's largest nation-building effort since Vietnam. Brian D'Haeseleer argues in The Salvadoran Crucible, that the US counterinsurgency in El Salvador produced no more than a stalemate, and in the process inflicted tremendous suffering on Salvadorans.

Trade Review
Observers scratch their heads in disbelief over the rise of ISIS, after 16 years of US-led counterinsurgency efforts in the Middle East. Scholars and students would do well to look to the case of El Salvador for a greater understanding of the broader history of US counterinsurgency warfare. US military and political leaders prematurely claimed victory in both places with little understanding of the past, present, or future conditions as they existed in reality."" - Chris White teaches history at Marshall University and is the author of The History of El Salvador
