{"product_id":"panama-john-weeks-9780906156551","title":"Panama: Made in the USA","description":"How did Manuel Noriega, the CIA's most important agent in Central America, become the US administration's most wanted criminal? Why did 22,000 US troops invade Panama, to arrest a man who had been a staunch ally of the US? Was his involvement in the drug trade the real reason for General Noriega's downfall? Panama: Made in the USA explores the unanswered questions behind the invasion of December 1989 and looks at the turbulent history of US-Panamanian relations, in particular the bitter struggle for control of the Panama Canal. It analyses the economic and geo-strategic importance of a country literally created by and for the US government. Looking at Panama since the invasion, the authors explore the challenge facing the US-installed Endara government as rebuilds a country shattered by invasion and US sanctions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Weeks,Phil Gunson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0906156556\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780906156551\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Latin America Bureau (Lab)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1990\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.90w x 0.40d","brand":"John Weeks","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48136189477119,"sku":"9780906156551","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cdb52323-45db-43e7-8780-897dda3aedc3.jpg?v=1770161110","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/panama-john-weeks-9780906156551","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
