Back Roads of the Contra War in Nicaragua

A BOLD PEOPLE - A DIFFERENT KIND OF STRENGTH

On her second trip to Nicaragua, a freelance journalist delivers an unbiased account of a people's war that is both heart-wrenching and occasionally humorous. This first-hand narrative offers a fresh perspective that will expand even the most open-minded views.

For those who believe in the infallibility of the United States, prepare to be challenged. Long before WWII, Allen Dulles and the CIA were manipulating the media, both at home and abroad, to conceal their involvement in the overthrow of foreign governments, Nicaragua included.

This journey also delves into the backstory and provides explanations of political terms to ensure readers stay engaged. However, "Nicaragua Story" remains a vibrant and engaging road trip through history.

In the 1980s, Nicaragua underwent a revolutionary transformation based on ideology, a rarity on the global stage. This bold and awe-inspiring movement attracted volunteers from around the world to support the newly-elected 'Sandinista' government as it fought for independence.

The primary obstacle faced by Nicaragua was its powerful neighbor to the north, the United States, which vehemently opposed the overthrow of the previous oppressive regime that it had long supported.
