Heritage of the Conquistadors: Ruling Classes in Central America from Conquest to the Sandinistas

InThe Heritage of the ConquistadorsSamuel Z. Stone demonstrates that the ruling families of Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador are rooted in a common ancestry. This crossbreeding, so to speak, often confuses the outside world's un-derstanding of such developments as the Salvadoran insurgency, the fall of Somoza, and the rise of the Sandinistas.Stone, Samuel Z. is the author of 'Heritage of the Conquistadors: Ruling Classes in Central America from Conquest to the Sandinistas' with ISBN 9780803242074 and ISBN 0803242077.
