History
For such a small country, Nicaragua has played a disproportionate role in modern
history. In the midst of cold-war tensions, the young Sandinista revolutionaries' re-
forms captured the attention of the most powerful governments on earth and un-
leashed scandals in the corridors of power. But when the bullets stopped flying, the
world lost interest, leaving the clean-up, reconstruction and return to power of the
Sandinistas like a captivating sequel that never made it to the big screen.
