Abstract

Nicaragua: Another Cuba?
Colegrove, Albert M. | July 1, 1961 issue

add to cart   close window

For at least the twentieth time in three years, the long entrenched President Luis Somoza family regime was under armed attack by its enemies. Within forty-eight hours, this rebellion like the others was crushed but with considerably more bloodshed than the others; and with more violence than the Somoza government acknowledged. For their part, the Somozas seldom missed an opportunity to exploit the seeming partnership with Washington. During any period of tension in Nicaragua, the Somoza controlled newspapers break out in a rash of photos and stories picturing U.S. Embassy people at all sorts of social and civic events in company with the Somozas.
