In the book Somoza gave his account of his administration, his downfall, and what he perceived to be the American betrayal of his country; he was particularly critical of the Carter Administration.[2]
Shortly after the book's publication, Somoza and his chauffeur were assassinated in downtown Asunción by members of the Argentine People's Revolutionary Army.[3] He is buried in Miami, Florida, at Woodlawn Park North Cemetery and Mausoleum.[4]
A Spanish edition of the book, titled Nicaragua Traicionada, was also published.
