Joan Kruckewitt: The Death of Ben Linder
-
Modern Times Bookstore, 888 Valencia St.
On April 28, 1987, Ben Linder and two Nicaraguans were ambushed and
killed by the Contras, making Ben the first American killed by
Ronald Reagan's freedom fighters. The Death of Ben Linder
incorporates formerly classified CIA documents that reveal who
killed Linder and why. Linder's story is important -- both as a
portrait of an idealist who died for his beliefs and as a case
study of a failed foreign policy. It vividly exposes the true
dimensions of a war that forever marked the lives of both
Nicaraguans and Americans.
