A "carefully researched" account of the rise and fall of notorious dictator Manuel Noriega-and America's role in both (The Washington Post).

Written by a prize-winning NPR veteran who spent years covering Latin America, this blend of biography, history, and political reporting details the events that lead to the American invasion of Panama.
