Nicaragua : what difference could a revolution make / Joseph Collins. - 3rd updated and revised edition. - New York : Grove Press, 1986 - xvii, 311 pages : illustrations ; 21 cm.

What were the dramatic changes brought by the first seven years of the Sandinista revolution in Nicaragua? How have the lives of the rural poor and rich changed? Are the hungry eating better? This book, incorporating many revisions in this new, third edition, comes up with some surprising answers. In discussing the new government's efforts to build a food and farming system that can meet the needs of the poor and at the same time increase exports, it shatters many of the misconceptions about Nicaragua created in Washington.
