“This poignant and gripping tale ... presents the life, the
triumph, and the tragic fate of a wonderful human being. And
through his experiences it records the most recent phase of the
destruction of a poor country, under the terrorist attack of a
superpower intent on enforcing submission and shaping accepted
history as well.” –Noam Chomsky
“Compelling ... Painstakingly detailed ... Linder comes alive as
the high-energy gringo outsider who eventually won over his
Nicaraguan hosts by refusing to quit until the light came on in the
small village.” –Seattle Times
“Joan Kruckewitt beautifully and honestly tells [Ben Linder's]
story. ... Ben's multifaceted character comes to life in the pages
of this book.” –Nicaragua Monitor
