Book Reviews of Blood on the Border : A Memoir of the Contra War
Book Review: Tedious unlike Nicaragua
Summary: 1 Stars
"My work at the UN on international indigenous rights had been important, but had little to do with stopping US intervention in Nicaragua." That quote sums this book up. The unfortunate reader will learn more than they could ever wish about the author, her self-regard and her messy private life but very little about Nicaragua. A better title would have been "Self-Importance: a Victim Speaks Out"
