This book meticulously explores the strategic, political, and operational dimensions of the United States' decision to intervene in Panama, aiming to depose General Manuel Noriega and establish a democratic government. The narrative begins by setting the historical and political context of U.S.-Panama relations, detailing the events that led to escalating tensions and the eventual decision to launch a military operation.

This includes the immediate military and political outcomes, such as the capture and extradition of Noriega and the restoration of a civilian government in Panama. The author also evaluates the long-term effects on Panama's political landscape, U.S. military doctrine, and international law.

This book is an essential resource for students and scholars of military history, international relations, and Latin American studies. It offers a nuanced and comprehensive look at a pivotal event that shaped U.S. military and foreign policy at the end of the Cold War.
