Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the many aspects of the filibuster invasion of Nicaragua from various perspectives. The author encapsulates the history of filibustering, the life of the notorious filibuster William Walker, and the factors that led to the American public and government's complex reactions to Walker and his invasion of Nicaragua. This exploration includes American expansionist ideals, diplomatic blunders, and the political situation of the time. The author concludes that Walker and his group were complex and often contradictory figures who displayed both idealism and greed, and whose impact on Nicaragua and America continues to be felt today. This book makes an important contribution to our understanding of 19th century America and how its government and people viewed expansionism and foreign entanglements.
