註釋The not-so-secret effort by the United States to aid Nicaraguans fighting the Sandinista government has been labeled by its detractors as President Reagan's "secret war." Without a doubt, this effort has been the most highly publicized and most closely scrutinized secret in American history. Debate surrounding this issue has been framed so as to create the public perception that the United States is waging a proxy war by paid mercenaries against a small Central American regime which it simply does not like. The real secret war is quite different. Silent and highly organized, the real secret war is political in nature, an internationally coordinated political campaign aimed at protecting and preserving the Sandinista regime from its opposition and from the United States. Sandinista political warfare in the United States is a phenomenon which has been going on for a decade, but few political leaders, scholars or journalists have consciously taken notes of its progress. Beginning as an outgrowth of the Hanoi lobby which had celebrated a hard-won victory when the Communists overran Southeast Asia, the Sandinista revolution lobby has played a major role in shaping the national debate on U.S. policy toward Nicaragua. An in-depth analysis of the machinery of this political warfare campaign, how it works, and how it has influenced Congress is the contexts of The Real Secret War.--back cover
