Chapter 18 of “Nicaragua Betrayed” contains written transcripts of key conversations between Anastasio Somoza and U.S. representatives while negotiating toward the end of his Presidency. The tapes reveal that Somoza was given a guarantee by the U.S. of the preservation of the Guardia Nacional and that the people of Nicaragua would not then be subjected to a Marxist government. Somoza explains that every promise made to him in these sessions had been broken, and that the word of the United States no longer means anything.
NOTE: Refer to the chapter in the book for more information and text of the transcripts.
