THE WAR IN NICARAGUA: THE EFFECTS OF LOW INTENSITY CONFLICT ON AN UNDERDEVELOPED COUNTRY

Documents major costs of the US military strategy of low-intensity conflict on the Nicaraguan civilian population, including data on employment, education, health, social security, welfare, and housing. Shows that the civilian population has been directly targeted through basic social, economic, and political communal infrastructures. The physical and psychological impact on civilians is severe and likely to persist for generations after warfare has officially ended. Abridged version in English of the full report in Spanish.
