Dr Montgomery examines the historic and economic roots of the El Salvador crisis, giving particular attention to sociopolitical developments since 1970. She focuses on the two factors - the oligarchy and the armed forces - that created the Salvadorean economic and political system and then devoted themselves to maintaining the status quo. Separate chapters highlight those that challenged that status quo since 1968: the Catholic Church and the revolutionary organizations. Her prognosis involves the emergence of a progressive group of young army officers to lead a coalition.
