Abstract
The life story of Ambassador Fletcher Warren chronicles the evolution of an ordinary Texas farm boy of pioneer stock, who was among the first of his kind admitted to the Foreign Service, in his rise through the ranks to become privy to the nation's best-kept secrets. On two occasions Warren was a hero of no small dimension on the international scene, and also played an extraordinary role in national security. Warren's knowledge of Nicaraguan intrigue during the Thirties, together with his opinion of Anastasio Somoza and Augusto c. Sandino, provide a timely observation by which to appraise current events in Nicaragua.
