Días y noches de amor y de guerra

"Days and Nights of Love and War is the personal testimony of one of Latin America's foremost contemporary writers. In this journal and history, Eduardo Galeano records the lives and struggles of the Latin American people, under two decades of violence and repression. Alternating between reportage and personal vignettes, Galeano pays tribute to the courage and determination of those who continued to believe in, and fight for, a more human existence."--BOOK JACKET. An award-winning Uruguayan author mixes narrative, essay, poetry, and historical chronicle to explore and express the hopes and fears of people--from Guatemala to Argentina--who have suffered for almost forty years from various forms of "dirty war," and midnight "disappearances" of neighbors, friends, and family members.
