El Año de la IRA / The Year of Fury [Spanish]

«Qu era indispensable olvidar? Que Tinoco fue inmensamente popular al comienzo, que muchos no hicieron nada para impedir los cr menes de la dictadura, que cont con la connivencia de expresidentes, pol ticos y empresarios, que fue la intervenci6n de Estados Unidos lo que decidi el fin del reinado de los Tinoco y no una invasi n patri tica desde Nicaragua.

El asesinato del general Joaqu n Tinoco el 10 de agosto de 1919 precipit , en pocas horas, la ca da de la dictadura de su hermano Pelico. Durante treinta meses, los Tinoco gobernaron el pa s a sangre y fuego, a contrapelo de la posici n oficial del presidente Wilson y de la crisis econ mica ocasionada por la Primera Guerra Mundial.

En El a o de la ira, Carlos Cort s nos presenta un excepcional retrato de la poca a medio camino entre la novela hist rica, el ensayo pol tico y el relato documental, husmeando en las meandros del poder y en los secretos del asesinato de Joaqu n Tinoco. Una historia plagada de traidores y usurpadores.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"What was essential to forget? That Tinoco was intensely popular at the beginning, that many people did nothing to stop the crimes of the dictatorship... that ex-presidents, politicians, and businessmen colluded with him, that it was the invasion by the United States that determined the end of the Tinoco's rein and not the patriotic invasion from Nicaragua."

The assassination of general Joaquin Tinoco on August 10, 1919, started, in few short hours, the fall of his brother's, Pelico's, dictatorship. During thirty months, the Trinoco's governed the country by blood and fire, going against the official position of President Wilson and the economic crisis brought about by World War I.

In The Year of Fury, Carlos Cort s presents us with an exceptional portrait of the era, midway between a historical novel, a political essay, and a documentary, sniffing around in the meander of power and the secrets of Joaquin Tinoco's assassination. A story plagued by traitors and imposters.
