In this provocative biography, Marco Aurelio Navarro-Génie explores the spiritual and political dimensions of Nicaraguan revolutionary Augusto César Sandino. Rather than portraying Sandino solely as a nationalist hero, the book reveals his messianic self-image and deep religious convictions. Drawing on rare sources, Navarro-Génie shows how Sandino’s blend of mysticism and anti-imperialism shaped his revolutionary mission and legacy. This fresh perspective offers insight into the fusion of faith and politics in Latin American resistance movements.
