This memoir provides a rare perspective on the events of Nicaragua over the past decade--that of a political insider. Cruz, son of the official opposition presidential candidate in the 1984 Nicaraguan elections, details infighting among the Sandinistas and the contras alike, characterizing it as Nicaraguan politics as usual. He reveals how these Central Americans perceived the American attempts to influence the course of events in the region. Cruz shares views, insights, and gossip as he chronicles his movement from Sandinista diplomat to contra official and, finally, to an analyst withdrawn from Nicaraguan politics. His journey brought him into contact with the many actors of Contragate, including a romantic liaison with Oliver North s secretary Fawn Hall. This is lively reading and brings human lives to the forefront of international political events in Central America.
