It is a must to anyone studying the turbulent; violent; fair and unfair relationships between the United States of America and Nicaragua in particular and Latin America in general. Very well documented and supported in facts and not the myths of the leftists intellectuals very prone to US bashing. It describes us as we were; as we are and as we will be. Explain lots of historical and transcendental happenings y a very clear and concise manner. It worth every dollar that you pay for it.Highly recommended.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Nice to read on the history of my two nations.By Julio GutierrezGreat book. Very well researched. My great great grandmother told my father about her memories of that time frame between 1912 and 1933 when the US was heavily involved in Nicaragua. Nice to read up on the history through a very well written book. Gave it to my father as a gift after I read it. He loved it as well.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. PerfectBy DreaThis book was essential in helping me write my BA thesis. It was informative; easy to read; and well-organized. It was recommended to me by one of my Spanish professors at the University of Chicago and also assigned as reading in a history class at UChicago; so it's respected by top scholars.
