Preview The U.S. invasion of Panama : the truth behind operation 'Just Cause'
For over three years the U.S. goverrtment and mass media carried out a largely successful propaganda campaign that paved the way for the invasion and occupation of Panama—dubbed "Operation Just Cause" by the Pentagon. This book counters the media bUtz that portrayed the invasion as a restoration of democracy and a war against drugs. It details the horrors of the invasion as experienced by the civilian population and documents the "operation's" criminal character, thus providing the truth behind the U.S. invasion of Panama.
Of course the invasion of Panama violated international and U.S. law. It was a physical assault of stunning violence. It was a time for testing new equipment with no concern for human lives.
