Alegria, Claribel, and Darwin Flakoll. Death of Somoza: The First Person Story of the Guerrillas who Assassinated the Nicaraguan Dictator. 1996.

A straightforward factual account of the assassination of the brutal Nicaraguan dictator Anastasio Somoza Debayle by leftist Guerrillas.

Somoza, at the time of his killing, had already fled Nicaragua during the revolution of 1979 and was living in Paraguay. The assassination was a success and, despite an unreliable getaway truck, all but one of the team managed to escape. The one who did not escape was killed. The book raises interesting moral questions which it doesn't really address: was the assassination of the murderer Somoza justifiable, particularly after he had been deposed and was no longer a threat to the people of Nicaragua? When is killing a murderer justifiable?
