Life and War in Nicaragua by Stephen Kinzer Originally published in 1991, the author was a NYT reporter based there before, during, and after the Sandinista revolution which took apart the Somoza dictatorship. From William Walker to Ollie North, Nicaragua has a facsinating history that is drawing me in like a tractor beam. Having visited Corinto this year, I wanted know more about the history of this country and this book delivers.
