THE MOST COMPLETE BOOK ON THE SANDINISTA REVOLUTION
This illustrated book makes different voices of players and people heard. The war in Nicaragua in the 80s took place in the Cold War era.
This book covers important war events mainly in the 70s--against Somoza--and 80s, addressing social, economic, political, ideological, and religious aspects. This work is NOT an analysis or description of the current situation in Nicaragua. My contemporaries will relate very easily to a great number of pictures in the book.
