34. Life as a Nicaraguan Contra with Luis Moreno

Today, Luis Moreno gives a firsthand account of his experiences in Nicaragua. A prominent figure among The Contras, Luis survived unbearable violence and horrible tragedy. He gives insight on the practice of guerilla warfare, the reality of resistance, and the atrocities of war. Beginning his career in Nicaragua's Guardia Nacional as an officer, Luis describes the events that led him to escape at the end of the 1979 revolution and provides personal details on darker aspects of the counter-revolution.

Thanks to the Spycraft 101 podcast, Luis was able to reconnect with a friend from his Contras days who was with him when he was gravely injured, losing his arm.
