Produktbeschreibung

"Zimmermann does an excellent job explaining the real content of the FSLN's internal differences, going a long way beyond the very schematic and surface readings that have appeared thus far. It is a pioneering effort and our understanding of the Sandinista revolution is substantially enriched by this study."--Barry Carr, LaTrobe University
