Description: "Interesting if self-serving memoir by former president of Nicaragua, 'always guided by the selfless desire to improve the lot of [her] countrymen.' Details workings of non-Sandinista opposition to Somoza through 1979, and conflicts during 1980s between right and Sandinista regime. Accuses opponents after 1990 of 'scurry[ing] to hide under the skirts of the U.S. Congress or White House.'"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
