In the new millennium, Nicaragua continues to be buffeted by international forces, although rather than troops, the US now sends the International Monetary Fund. Nicaraguan's daily lives are dominated by a history of poverty, although they retain a vibrant civil society and a rich culture. Nicaragua is a country of great natural beauty, with lakes and volcanoes creating a spectacular landscape. Nicaragua in Focus is an authoritative and up-to-date guide to this fascinating country. It explores the land, history and politics (including its crucial and difficult relationship with the US), economy, society and people, culture and environment, and includes tips on where to go and what to see.
