Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. La primera publicacion de El saqueo en Nicaragua, de Rafael de Nogales Mendez, fue vetada en Nueva York en el ano 1931. En ese entonces el gobierno de los Estados Unidos incauto todos los ejemplares de la tirada en ingles. Cerro la Editorial Robert McBride and Co. y sanciono a los editores con una multa de 250.000 dolares.El saqueo de Nicaragua es un libro testimonial que nos cuenta un pasado y un contexto tragico: el nicaragueense. Se refiere, ademas, a la situacion que vivian paises centroamericanos como Republica Dominicana y Haiti. Victimas de las invasiones de los Estados Unidos de America. Este libro se centra en la intervencion de los Marines americanos en Nicaragua, que levanto la resistencia de Augusto Cesar Sandino. Por aquellos tiempos se extendio el uso de la expresion "Republica bananera". Expresion que todavia describe a los gobiernos y paises fragiles intervenidos por los intereses de las corporaciones americanas. A continuacion citamos un pasaje de El saqueo de Nicaragua. Veamos como describe Nogales Mendez la forma en que se legitimaron a los politicos americanos, tras fomentar intervenciones armadas en Latinoamerica: Dignos caballeros en solemne conclave no hace mucho concedieron el premio Nobel de la Paz al ex-secretario de Estado americano, senor Frank B. Kellog. El secretario lo acepto, en medio de aplausos encendidos de lagrimas tanto de la prensa como del publico de toda America y los Estados Unidos. Cuan fina, emocionante y plausible parecia esta ceremonia!: Me pregunto si los caballeros que estaban otorgando el premio habian dirigido antes sus miradas hacia el sur y el oeste. La primera publicacion de El saqueo en Nicaragua, de Rafael de Nogales Mendez, fue vetada en Nueva York en el ano 1931. En ese entonces el gobierno de los Estados Unidos incauto todos los ejemplares de la tirada en ingles.

Condición: Aceptable. : En este sensacional libro, Rafael de Nogales, un indómito aventurero venezolano que fue comparado con Lawrence de Arabia, cuenta toda la peripecia de su empecinada participación en la Primera Guerra Mundial. Aunque se ofreció a otros bandos -belga, francés, alemán-, acabó enrolado en el ejército turco y comandando un cuerpo de choque que le granjeó altos honores militares e incluso le permitió tener su propia guardia personal. Cuatro años bajo la Media Luna, publicado en 1924, es, entre otras muchas cosas, una crónica de avatares de este "caballero andante" a lo largo y ancho del frente turco durante la Primera Guerra Mundial. Al trote de su periplo, acompañamos a Nogales por la estepa de Anatolia, el Cáucaso, Mesopotamia, Siria, Persia, Palestina, los Santos Lugares mahometanos, el Sinaí egipcio. mientras se codea con todos los personajes implicados en el alto mando otomano y alemán en cada uno de los frentes en que participó. Especialmente recordado es su paso por el frente del Cáucaso y su participación en el sitio de Van, donde fue testigo de los desmanes del ejército turco con la población armenia, y respecto del cual mostró su completo desacuerdo con el mando turco, dada la crueldad de los hechos y su propia condición de cristiano. Hoy este libro se considera uno de los testimonios más tempranos y de primera mano de lo que se conoce como el "genocidio armenio", del que Nogales hace un crudo relato. ¿Por qué se recuerda a Lawrence de Arabia y se olvida a Nogales? Los dos han sido temerariamente aventureros, los dos "han trabajado con las manos tintas en sangre" durante varios años en el desierto; los dos fueron escritores. Cuatro años bajo la Media Luna, el libro del general Nogales, tiene la misma grandeza sombría que Los siete pilares de la sabiduría de Thomas E. Lawrence. Creo que era un deber de justicia evocar el libro del aventurero Nogales, mientras que se recuerda tan vivamente la obra de Lawrence".

Rafael Inchauspe Méndez, known as Rafael de Nogales Méndez was a Venezuelan soldier, adventurer and writer who served for the Ottoman Empire during the Great War (1914-18). He travelled extensively and fought in many of the wars of his age. When a young man his father sent him to study in Europe and he attended Universities in Germany, Belgium and Spain, and spoke several languages fluently. Despite his education, Nogales felt more attracted to the military profession and he began to travel where the news of war took him. He took part in several conflicts in the last part of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th: he fought for the Spanish against the Americans in the Spanish?American War. In 1902 with the support of president Zelaya of Nicaragua, Nogales participated in a failed attempt to overthrow Venezuelan dictator Cipriano Castro involving an expedition aboard the schooner La Libertad. The forces landed in La Guajira peninsula but were defeated by general Antonio Davila in Carazua as part of Revolución Libertadora of Venezuela. In 1904 participated in the Russo-Japanese War as double agent. Additionally, he spent time in Alaska during the time of the gold rush there. In California he fought with the forces of Mexican revolutionary Ricardo Flores Magón and also worked as a cowboy in Arizona. He returned to Venezuela in 1908, after the military coup of Juan Vicente Gómez that overthrew his enemy Cipriano Castro. Nogales was appointed by General Gómez as president of Apure State, however, he went into exile after making himself an enemy of the new president. When World War I began, after unsuccessfully attempting to join a number of other European armies, he enlisted in the Ottoman Army and was assigned to the Caucasus Front, where he reached the rank of major. He led gendarmerie troops during the siege of Van, but asked to be relieved due to what he believed were "unjustified massacres of Christians". He believed that the massacres were committed by Khahil Bey, the Commander and Chief of the Expeditionary Army he volunteered to serve. He later wrote a book describing his experiences with the Ottoman Army in World War I. Nogales Méndez reported that the civil authorities found it preferable to murder at night with the help of local Kurds. When visiting Aghtamar, an island in Lake Van where the Armenian Cathedral of the Holy Cross is located, he notes that he uncovered the corpses of many priests. Nogales Méndez visited Diyarbakir on June 26, 1915 and spoke with Mehmet Resid, who was the governor of the province. During his time in Diyarbakir, he witnessed the massacres of the local Christian population of the province. According to his conversation with Resid, the orders to massacre were sent from Interior Minister Talat Pasha. Nogales Méndez recounts in his memoirs that Resid mentioned to him that he received a telegram directly from Talat Pasha ordering him to "Burn-Destroy-Kill". After being transferred from the Caucasus, he saw action in the Sinai and Palestine Front. He fought in the Turkish lines during the entire war, and was awarded the Iron Cross by Kaiser Wilhelm II. After the war ended, he worked with the Nicaraguan revolutionary Augusto César Sandino. In London, Nogales wrote some books about his adventures around the world. In Venezuela he was appointed by General Gómez to study the Panamanian army, but later he died in Panama City in 1936. He wrote several books about his experiences, one of them is 'Cuatro anos bajo la Media Luna'. (Source: Wikipedia). This translation includes criticism under the name 'an answer'.
