A BOLD PEOPLE - A DIFFERENT KIND OF STRENGTH
A freelance journalist on her second trip to Nicaragua reports the unbiased truth of a people's war. Heartbreaking and occasionally even funny, this first-hand account will broaden even the broadest perspective.
If you believe the United States can do no wrong, better brace yourself. Because, as early as 1947, Allen Dulles and his CIA began controlling the media, in the US and abroad, to cover up their overthrow of foreign nations; and Nicaragua was not spared.
Throughout this journey, back story is also provided, as well as clarification of politics and terminology so readers don't get lost along the way. But 'Nicaragua Story' is still a lively road trip.
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.
