With Blood On The Border: A Memoir Of The Contra War, Dunbarortiz Presents The Third Volume In Her Critically Acclaimed Memoir. In This Longawaited Book, She Vividly Recounts Ontheground Memories Of The Contra War In Nicaragua, Chronicling The Ussponsored Terror Inflicted On The People Of Nicaragua Following Their 1981 Election Of The Socialist Sandinistas, Ousting Reagan Darling And Vicious Dictator Somoza.The Wars Opening Salvo Was The Bombing Of A Nicaraguan Plane In Mexico City By Usbacked Contras, The Plane Dunbarortiz Would Have Been On Were It Not For A Delay. This Disarming Closeness To The Fraught History Of The Us/Nicaraguan Relationship Shapes Dunbarortizs Narrative, Bringing Uncomfortably Present The Decadelong Dirty War That The Reagan Administration Pursued In Nicaragua Against Civilian And Soldier Alike.As With Her First Two Memoirs, In Blood On The Border, Dunbarortiz Seamlessly Connects The Dots Not Only Between The Personal And The Political, But Between Recent History And Our Present Moment. Unlike The Many Commentators Who View The September 11, 2001, Attacks As The Start Of The Socalled War On Terror, Dunbarortiz Offers Firsthand Testimony On Battles Waged Much Earlier. While Her Rich Political Analysis Of This History Bears The Mark Of A Trained Historian, She Also Writes From Her Perspective As An Intrepid Activist Who Spent Months At A Time Throughout The 1980S In The Wartorn Country, Especially In The Remote Mosquitia Region, Where The Indigenous Miskitu People Were Viciously Assailed And Nearly Wiped Out By Ciatrained Contra Mercenaries. She Makes Painfully Clear The Connections Between What Many Us Americans Only Remember Vaguely As The Irancontra Affair And Current Us Aggression In The Americas, The Middle East, And Around The World. Clearly, This Will Be A Book Valuable Not Only For Students Of Latin American History, But Also For Anyone Who Is Interested In Better Understanding The Violent Turmoil Of Our World Today.
