- "Inside Guatemala exhibits that rare combination of diligence
- and devotion necessary for excellence. . . . This comprehensive
- and precise analysis of the political, social, and economic
- sectors of a troubled country should be required reading for all
- who still care about what is happening in Central America and
- especially for those who do not."
- - Barbara Annis, Latin American journalist and editor
-
- "Tom Barry's Inside Guatemala is without parallel in the breadth
- and depth of its coverage of contemporary Guatemalan politics,

- interesting book that should be read by anyone who is interested
- in social change, human rights, and U.S. relations with `Third
- World' countries."

- and Women's Studies, California State University, Long Beach

- accurate, useful, and informed factual information about

- book. I recommend it strongly to all those who need to have a
- credible knowledge of what is going on in this important
- country."
