In 1976, at age twenty-five, Stephen Kinzer arrived in Nicaragua as
a freelance journalist--and became a witness to history. He
returned many times during the years that followed, becoming Latin
America correspondent for the "Boston Globe" in 1981 and joining
the foreign staff of the "New York Times" in 1983. That year he
openedthe "New York Times" Managua bureau, making that newspaper
the first daily in America to maintain a full-time office in
Nicaragua.
Widely considered the best-connected journalist in Central
America, Kinzer personally met and interviewed people at every
level of the Somoza, Sandinistas and contra hierarchies, as well as
dissidents, heads of state, and countless ordinary citizens
throughout the region.
"Blood of Brothers" is Kinzer's dramatic story of the
centuries-old power struggle that burst into the headlines in 1979
with the overthrow of the Somoza dictatorship. It is a vibrant
portrait of the Nicaraguan people and their volcanic land, a
cultural history rich in poetry and bloodshed, baseball and
insurrection.
