Nicaragua Story-Back Roads of the Contra War

A freelance journalist on her second trip to Nicaragua reports the unbiased truth. Heartbreaking, sometimes funny, this extreme moment in time will broaden even the broadest perspective.

Throughout the journey, the author also provides back story and clarifies the politics and terminology so readers don't get lost along the way.

Though 'Nicaragua Story' could be called a war book, it's truthful history everyone should know-and offered in a surprisingly

friendly style.

But If you believe the United States can do no wrong, better brace yourself.

from back cover:

In the 1980s, NICARAGUA experienced an ideology-based revolution rarely seen on the world stage.

It was regarded globally as bold and even beautiful. From distant shores, volunteers arrived to support

the newly-elected 'Sandinista' government in its quest for self-determination. 

The only problem, a massive one, was that its neighbor to the north, none other than the USA, violently

opposed the Nicaraguan peoples' overthrow of the previous brutal, dictatorial regime-that the US had

controlled and sponsored for decades.
