Intellectual Foundations of the Nicaraguan Revolution

About this book

In this critical study of the thought of Augusto Cesar Sandino and his followers Donald C. Hodges has discovered a coherent ideological thread and political program which he succeeds in tracing to Mexican and Spanish sources. Sandinos strong religious inclination in combination with his anarchosyndicalist political ideology established him as a religious seer and moral reformer as well as a political thinker and is the prototype of the curious blend of Marxism and Christianity of the late twentieth-century Nicaraguan government the Frente Sandinista de Liberacin Nacional.
