NICARAGUA:
Volume 2: Contra War
1961-1990
By
David Francois
<><><><>
In1979, the Sandinista government established itself in power in Managua,
the capitol
of Nicaragua.
It found the country ruined by the long war against the Somosa dictatorship
and natural
disasters alike, and nearly half of the population either homeless
or living in exile.
Attempting to restructure and recover the underdeveloped economy,
Sandinisas
introduced a wide range of reforms and a cultural revolution.
Considering the Sandinistas to be ‘Cuban-supported Marxists’ and therefore
a major
threat to the US domination of Latin America, in 1980-1981 the USA
began supporting
the creation of the Contrarevolutionary forces (better
known as ‘Contras’), and thus
helped provoke a new war that was to rage
through Nicaragua until 1988.
Leaning upon extensive studies of the armed groups involved, and their
combat operations
of the 1981-1988 period, ‘Nicaragua, 1961-1990, Volume 2’ provides an in-depth coverage
of military history during the second phase
of one
of bloodiest, and most-publicized armed
conflicts of Latin America in modern
times.
Guiding the reader meticulously through the details of the involved forces,
their ideologies,
organization and equipment, this book offers a uniquely
accurate, blow-by-blow account
of the Nicaraguan War and profusely illustrated
with more than 120 photos, maps, and
color artwork.
