Set against the backdrop of the Cold War, the narrative explores the miscalculations of the United States in Central America, particularly regarding the rise of leaders like Anastasio Somoza Garcia. Unlike others, Somoza adeptly manipulated American institutions to undermine U.S. power, presenting a unique challenge to American dominance in the region. The book delves into the interplay of arrogance and complacency in U.S. policy, revealing how Somoza exploited these dynamics to create opportunities for himself, ultimately reshaping the political landscape of Nicaragua.
