Princeton University Press Sandino: The Testimony of a Nicaraguan Patriot - Princeton Press

Experience the powerful words of Augusto C. Sandino for the first time in English. This volume from the Princeton Legacy Library provides a direct look at the life and convictions of the remarkable Nicaraguan hero and martyr. As a former artisan and farmer turned soldier, Sandino became a formidable military threat to American Marines during the bitter jungle war in Nicaragua from 1927 until 1933. This book offers a unique perspective on a figure whose name became synonymous with a recent revolutionary regime. By reading his own impassioned words, readers gain insight into his struggle against the standards by which the strong and the weak are measured. It is a significant historical resource for anyone interested in the biography of Central and South American leaders and the history of guerrilla warfare.
