About this product
Product Information
In 1987, the death of Ben Linder, the first American killed by President Reagan's "freedom fighters" -- the U.S.-backed Nicaraguan Contras -- ignited a firestorm of protest and debate. In this landmark first biography of Linder, investigative journalist Joan Kruckewitt tells his story. In the summer of 1983, a 23-year-old American named Ben Linder arrived in Managua with a unicycle and a newly earned degree in engineering. In 1986, Linder moved from Managua to El Cu , a village in the Nicaraguan war zone, where he helped form a team to build a hydroplant to bring electricity to the town. He was ambushed and killed by the Contras the following year while surveying a stream for a possible hydroplant. In 1993, Kruckewitt traveled to the Nicaraguan mountains to investigate Linder's death. In July 1995. she finally located and interviewed one of the men who killed Ben Linder, a story that became the basis for a New Yorker feature on Linder's death. Linder's story is a portrait of one idealist who died for his beliefs, as well as a picture of a failed foreign policy, vividly exposing the true dimensions of a war that forever marked the lives of both Nicaraguans and Americans.

Reviews
"This poignant and gripping tale ... presents the life, the triumph, and the tragic fate of a wonderful human being. And through his experiences it records the most recent phase of the destruction of a poor country, under the terrorist attack of a superpower intent on enforcing submission and shaping accepted history as well." -Noam Chomsky "Compelling ... Painstakingly detailed ... Linder comes alive as the high-energy gringo outsider who eventually won over his Nicaraguan hosts by refusing to quit until the light came on in the small village." - Seattle Times "Joan Kruckewitt beautifully and honestly tells [Ben Linder's] story. ... Ben's multifaceted character comes to life in the pages of this book." - Nicaragua Monitor

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
