De Landenreeks behandelt verschillende aspecten van de geschiedenis, de cultuur, de politiek, de sociale omstandigheden en de economie van een land. Het werk bevat zwart-wit en kleurenfoto's, cijfergegevens, tabellen en kaarten. Er is een duidelijk accent gelegd op achtergrondinformatie en analyses van recente ontwikkelingen. In 1933 legden de Amerikanen de macht in handen van commandant Somoza die van Nicaragua een privé-hacienda maakte. Hieraan kwam pas een einde in 1979 toen de Sandinisten aan de macht kwamen en een rechtvaardiger samenleving probeerden op te bouwen. Mede door hun eigen fanatisme en door toedoen van de door Amerika gesteunde contra's, werd dit geen onverdeeld succes. Na vrije verkiezingen in 1990 kwam Chamorro aan de macht. Mede door de burgeroorlog is Nicaragua één van de armste landen van Amerika, pas sinds 1994 is er weer sprake van economische groei in het nu 'geliberaliseerde' land.

“I went to Nicaragua with nothing but a tourist visa, $1,500 in cash, the name of someone at the Agrarian Reform Ministry, and the idea of being a revolutionary intellectual. . . . The idea took hold in a simple character flaw: wanting to believe that I knew better than everyone else.” —From the preface When Michael Johns joined a Sandinista militia in 1983, a fellow revolutionary dubbed him a rábano, a radish: red on the outside but white on the inside. Now, more than twenty-five years later, Johns appreciates the wisdom of that label as he revisits the questions of identity he tried to resolve by working with the Sandinistas at that point in his life. In The Education of a Radical, Johns recounts his immersion in Marxism and the Nicaraguan sojourn it led to, with a painful maturation process along the way. His conversion began in college, where he joined a student group called the Latin American Solidarity Association and traveled to Chiapas, Mexico, for research on his senior thesis. Overwhelmed by the poverty he witnessed (and fascinated by a new friend named Maricela who was trying to turn peasants into revolutionaries and who carried a heavily highlighted copy of Late Capitalism), he experienced an ideological transformation. When a Marxist professor later encouraged him to travel to Nicaragua, the real internal battle began for him, a battle that was intensified by the U.S. invasion of Grenada and its effect on the Sandinistas, who believed they were the next target for an imminent American invasion. Before he knew it, Johns was digging trenches and learning how to use an AK-47. His intellectual ideals came face-to-face with revolutionary facts, and the results would perplex him for years to come. Bringing to life a vivid portrait of the sometimes painful process of reconciling reality with romanticized principles, The Education of a Radical encapsulates a trove of truths about humanity, economics, and politics in one man’s memorable journey.
