Hostile Acts

U.S. Policy in Costa Rica in the 1980s

University Press of Florida

To Martha Honey, "hostile acts" is shorthand for the nature of U.S. policies in Costa Rica during the last decade. In this book she combines extensive academic research with her firsthand experiences as a journalist covering major portions of the Iran-contra scandal to weave together the story of how the Reagan and Bush administrations undermined Central America's model democracy.

., the .. She has been the recipient of many honors, including Costa Rica's highest journalism prize, the Pio Viquez National Award for Journalism, presented by President Oscar Arias in 1989, and the Canadian Centre for Investigative Journalism award for best radio documentary in 1987.
