Confronting the American Dream: Nicaragua under U.S. Imperial Rule (American Encounters/Global Interactions)

I am a Nicaraguan and this book is extremely accurate. It is a must to anyone studying the turbulent, violent, fair and unfair relationships between the United States of America and Nicaragua in particular and Latin America in general. Very well documented and supported in facts and not the myths of the leftists intellectuals very prone to US bashing. It describes us as we were, as we are and as we will be. Explain lots of historical and transcendental happenings y a very clear and concise manner. It worth every dollar that you pay for it.Highly recommended.

Great book. Very well researched. My great great grandmother told my father about her memories of that time frame between 1912 and 1933 when the US was heavily involved in Nicaragua. Nice to read up on the history through a very well written book. Gave it to my father as a gift after I read it. He loved it as well.

This book was essential in helping me write my BA thesis. It was informative, easy to read, and well-organized. It was recommended to me by one of my Spanish professors at the University of Chicago and also assigned as reading in a history class at UChicago, so it's respected by top scholars.

Extremely informative. Great piece of research. A must for Nicaraguan History, Sociology and Literature.

Excellent History

If you REALLY want to know about the USA involvement in Nicaragua read this book. One comes away with a clear picture of the years 1912 through 1933 in Nicaragua. To be even better the book could have explored the position of the middle and worker class but information is scarce. All in all one of the best books written on this era in Central America

It is too scholarly, not for average, casual reader,
