§Theodore MacDonald wrote, "In Ron's case, it gives his writing the salty bite of authenticity in a Damon Runyon sort of way, but it is obvious that he regards the Cuban Revolution as a pearl of great price."

¤Graham Greene wrote, 8 September 1987: Yankee Sandinistas "I found excellent and your publishers if they want to can quote me. I have marked nearly a dozen passages as is my habit when I am enjoying a book."

¤Ernesto Cardenal wrote, 1986: "This book...is about [USs] savage war against our tiny country [while] Nicaraguans and North Americans join together and love each other more...for this reason [this book] has an historical importance--and touches the heart as well."

"En Nicargua está aconteciendo un fenómeno extradordinario: mientras el gobierno de Estados Unidos hace una guerra más y más feroz contra nuestro pequeño país, norteamericanos y nicaragüenses se unen y se quieren más. Esto no había sucedido nunca en la Historia. Este libro trata de esto, y por eso tiene una importancia histórica-y es además enternecedor."

¤Philip Agee wrote, 1986: "This book breaks through the cloud of atrocious lies...put forth daily to discredit and isolate the revolution. Northamericans can learn from this book...As a former volunteer coffee picker I say with pride that I'm a Yankee Sandinista too."

¤Noam Chomsky wrote, 1986: "The decent, courageous and honorable people who speak here express in their words and lives the values we profess to hold, but that our government has long been dedicated to destroy. Perhaps they will help their fellow-citizens come to understand this central truth of modern history and to act to change it."
