[Sandino] Neill Macauly, THE SANDINO AFFAIR. A biography of the Marines' arch-enemy in Nicaragua, Augusto Sandino, by a former staff officer in the Cuban Rebel Army of Fidel Castro.
~~~ "At a time (1967) when the United States may well be committing herself to 'pacification' campaigns from Vietnam and Thailand to Santo Domingo, Macaulay's book is an important contribution to our still scant knowledge of the whole subject. As an example of how a six-year-long campaign by U.S. Marines can be militarily successful and at the same time be a total political failure whose adverse consequences still haunt the U.S. in Central America forty years later, The Sandino Affair has no equal in its field."
