    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.
