Dopey review of Radosh's "Commies" by Martin Duberman in this week's Nation.

While much of it deals with Radosh's obsession with the Rosenbergs (an obsession I do not share), there is a bit about the Sandinista legacy, and it is, to be polite, rather incomplete. If the FSLN was so Stalinist and devoted to the Cuban model, then why did it allow itself to be voted out of power? Why didn't it place Violeta Chammorro in front of a firing squad? Why did it allow La Prensa to print editorials that compared it to Nazi Germany? If this is Stalinist repression, then Woodrow Wilson was beyond the pale.
Who is Duberman anyway? Know the name, but not the bio.
