Death of Somoza reveals the inside story of the assassination of Somoza in Asuncion, Paraguay in 1980. Alegria and Flakoll, on the recommendation of Julio Cortazar, met "Ramon," a leader in the Argentinian Revolutionary Workers' Party (PRT) and with his help were able to interview all the survivors of the commando team that carried out the "bringing to justice" of Somoza. Alegria and Flakoll then rewove these testimonies into a narrative that reads like a thriller, as well as giving a vivid picture of the political and social climate of the time. Enlivened by its colorful cast of characters, Death of Somoza is the definitive account of how Anastasio Somoza Debayle was brought to justice. This story is not an apology for terrorism, but rather the chronicle of a tyrannicide.
"Gripping story of planning and execution of Somoza's 1980 assassination, as told to Alegrâia and Flakoll in 1983 by the Argentine guerrillas who carried it out. Well-translated inverviews woven into narration lend aspect of a thriller in suspense and drama. Much historical and political background on both Nicaragua and Argentina. Excellent for classroom use"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.

Death of Somoza: The First Person Story of the Guerillas Who Assassinated the Nicaraguan Dictator
Where does all the money come from to pay for the expensive safe houses, multiple trips between Colombia, Paraguay, Brazil, Nicaragua, and Cuba... the food, the hotels, the weapons?
This book reads like a thriller, but Alegria and Flakoll are purposely leaving out key details to paint their revolutionary "heroes" as ideologically pure. I suspect that the real truth is more complicated and that understanding the funding of the operation would create a very different nonfiction novel.
