Reviews
"Offers a spiritual biography of a Nicaraguan revolutionary. . . . Sandino, an early 20th-century firebrand from whom the Sandinista government later took its name, has been studied before, but not with this kind of attention to his unique theology and millenarian worldview. . . . This is an accessible biography with a fresh, long-overdue perspective."
Publishers Weekly

"This well-crafted volume . . . offers a psychological analysis of the intrepid revolutionary leader who was haunted by the stigma of illegitimacy and obsessed with a sense of personal dignity. . . . This book adds greatly to the literature of the enigma that is Nicaragua."
