An Insider’s Account of Diplomacy in the Age of Reagan-Bush
With his accustomed candor, insight, and humor, Everett (Ted) Briggs recounts his days as President Ronald Reagan’s ambassador to Panama in the time of Noriega, and to Honduras when it was the center of the Central American crisis pitting US-backed contras against Nicaragua’s Sandinistas. As a reward for surviving these two assignments—and despite serious kibitzing by members of Congress hostile to the Reagan Doctrine for Central America—President George H. W. Bush picked Briggs to be his senior adviser for Latin America at the National Security Council and then as chief of mission in Portugal, Briggs’s dessert post.
