He surveys the long history and ideology of the Sandinista movement and discuses the party's fall from power, particularly its "unavoidable" collision course with U.S. neoconservatism. He also discuses the implications for the "revolution" with the Sandinistas' loss of national leadership and the important role they will continue to play in Nicaraguan politics as a democratic and grassroots party.
