You Fill in the Missing Pages, August 2, 2007
This review is from: Peasants In Arms: War & Peace in the Mountains of Nicaragua, 1979-1994 (Ohio RIS Latin America Series) (Paperback)
The book is an overall excellent study of the contradictions of Nicaraguan peasant life (no pun intended) and how they did not guarantee automatic acceptance by the rural poor for Sandinista redistributive programs.
The title of this review comes from the missing pages in the middle of the text, specifically pages 131-162. I don't know if this is just the fault of the copy I purchased, or is endemic in all paperback editions of this book; however, it was definitely bound this way - the pages did not fall out - and the gap comes at a crucial point of the author's case. Prospective buyers should check with the seller before ordering this book, if such a gap is of concern to you. (It is to me, but I'm not paying out $25 more for another copy for a screwup that may well be the publisher's fault.)
