Excerpt from The Revolution of Nicaragua and the United States The events of recent occurrence in Nicaragua that obliged me to come to Europe after having resigned the Presidency of the Republic, which I had held for sixteen years have given rise to various comments some of them unfavourable to myself. This fact renders it incumbent upon me to explain matters that the truth may be known in order that, the judgment past upon me by the public may be a just and fair one. It would be in vain to deny the in uence that the now famous note of the Secretary of State of the United States may have brought to bear upon the mind of the public in Europe, especially in those countries where information is gathered from despatches sent by North American agents. Such undoubted in uence is what induces me to appeal to the serious minded and impartial public that might not have an exact knowledge of the events referred to. This and no other is the reason. Nicaragua, through the efforts of the Government which I directed for so many years was following a peaceful and progressive course acknow ledged by all and in spite of the incessant machinations of the enemies of liberal professions thwarted more than once, no one expected to hear the cry of a revolution in our midst, nobody had the least suspicion that without any warning the Spirit of discontent would suddenly take the form of a rebellious movement.

Excerpt from The Conquest of Nicaragua by the United States: Letter to President Taft You have broken all precedents of history and diplo macy in America. You have broken all sound rules of action in international policy. You have acted with unlimited power and personal discretion, and you are responsible to nobody. You profess to have acted in protection 'of American life and property, the native government having confessed itself incapable of fulfilling this primary function. But to do this you did not by any means need to make yourself a party to the civil war raging in the country, and much less the discharge of the duties of protection of life and property could by any possibility imply the meddling with the infernal hatred of the factions, and the taking upon yourself the direct and barbarous suppression of the revolution. Protect ing American and other foreign interests, you should have kept yourself within the bounds of strict neutrality, using the moral force of your great office to bring about an intelli gent and satisfactory settlement of the civil strife. In placeof this, you have invaded Nicaragua with an American army and you have subdued by brutal force the forces of the revolution and Nicaragua is to-day a subjugated nation. There was imminent danger of the fall of the govern ment into the hands of the 'soldiery of that new Zelaya, General Mena, which would 'have been indeed a great calamity. But the existence of a nominal government entirely controlled by you and absolutely dependent upon you is a calamity and a disgrace not less deplorable. You should have averted both dangers and you could easily have done so if your aim had been noble. But you chose to make impossible the formation of a strong government, because what you wanted was the destruc tion of the sovereignty of Nicaragua. It was sheer lust of land which moved you. I With all your judicial temperament you are evidently a believer in the manifest destiny boundaries of the United States, to wit, on the north by the aurora borealis, on the south by the pro cession of the equinoxes, on the east by the primeral chaos, and on the west the Day of Judgment.

Excerpt from American Policy in Nicaragua To understand the history of our rela tions to Nicaragua, it is necessary for us first to grasp certain geographical, racial and historical conditions of that nation. We Americans, in Considering a foreign political problem are very prone to assume that the conditions which form the back ground Of that problem are the same as our own. In the case of Nicaragua no worse error could be made. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Sandinista revolution in Nicaragua inspired many North Americans, including the author of this moving and informative book. John Brentlinger made six trips to Nicaragua, both before and after the defeat of the Sandinista Party. Combining the insights of a philosopher with the experiences of a participant-observer, he interprets the Sandinista period as a people's struggle for self-realization in work, culture, politics, and community. The book alternates between journal and essay chapters, weaving descriptions of personal experiences together with interviews and analysis. Whether telling the story of the last day of a young teacher's life, describing new forms of poetry and art, examining representations of Nicaragua in the U.S. media, or discussing the government's successes and failures, Brentlinger vividly captures the spirit and enduring significance of the Sandinista revolution.
