Following the overthrow of Nicaragua's Somoza government by the left-wing Sandinista rebels in 1979, the United States sought to prop up El Salvador's right-wing military government as a backstop against home-grown insurgents and rising Soviet and Cuban influence. Its role helped fuel a lethal 13-year civil war. \u003ci\u003eLegacy of Lies\u003c\/i\u003e contains previously unpublished black-and-white images that American photographer Robert Nickelsberg produced on behalf of \u003ci\u003eTime\u003c\/i\u003e magazine and is supplemented by essays by renowned journalists.
