"Published in 1981, Susan Meiselas' "Nicaragua" is a modern classic - a seminal contribution to the literature of concerned photojournalism that forms an extraordinary narrative of a nation in turmoil. Starting with a powerful and chilling evocation of the Somoza regime during its decline in the late 1970s, the images trace the evolution of the popular resistance that led to the insurrection, culminating with the triumph of the Sandinista revolution in 1979.
