The Victory of Sandinismo
relives the strikes, demonstrations, and armed insurrection that drove Nicaraguan President Anastasio Somoza Debayle, heir to the dictatorial dynasty that ruled the nation for more than four decades, to exile and eventual assassination in Paraguay. This unique perspective of the daily warfare and the response of the population to the shelling and bombardment of their cities, in which thousands of Nicaraguans perished, is well worth the read.
