Revolution and the Multiclass Coalition in Nicaragua

Everingham's book is helpful for understanding what drove Nicaragua's economic elites to turn against a dictator with whom they could at least do business in favor of revolutionaries whose ideology and international alliances should have left little dob that their ultimate objective, tactical concessions aside, was to do away with business altogether.

Most readers will . . . find this book to be a strong attempt to weave three decades of economic, political, and social developments into perceived political interests that culminated, after several false stars, in a successful cross-class opposition force.
