A BOLD PEOPLE – A DIFFERENT KIND OF STRENGTH
With a twist or two, this original first-hand account documents an extreme moment in time. Heartbreaking, sometimes even funny, it will broaden even the broadest perspective.
A freelance journalist on her second trip to Nicaragua reports the unbiased truth of a people's war. Throughout the journey, back story is also provided, as well as clarification of politics and terminology so readers don't get lost along the way.
Though 'Nicaragua Story' is something of a 'war book,' it’s truthful and shocking history everyone should know.
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.
