Description

El Salvador in 1982 was a time of intense civil war. Joan Didion's account of this period is marked by a restless and unflinching eye, as she explores the terror of the conflict and the impact of US foreign policy. Didion travels to battlefields and body dumps, conducting interviews with key figures including a puppet president. She also examines the unique concept of "disappearance" in Salvadorian culture, shedding light on the complexities of this tumultuous period. This book is a masterclass in reportage by one of the 20th century's greatest literary stylists.
