About this product

Product Information

A masterpiece of scrupulous investigative journalism that is also a testament to the forgotten victims of a neglected theater of the Cold War. "Once in a rare while a writer reexamines a debated episode of recent history with such thoroughness and integrity that the truth can no longer be in doubt. Mark Danner [has done] just that." -- The New York Times In December 1981 soldiers of the Salvadoran Army's select, American-trained Atlacatl Battalion entered the village of El Mozote, where they murdered hundreds of men, women, and children, often by decapitation. Although reports of the massacre--and photographs of its victims--appeared in the United States, the Reagan administration quickly dismissed them as propaganda. In the end, El Mozote was forgotten. The war in El Salvador continued, with American funding. When Mark Danner's reconstruction of these events first appeared in The New Yorker , it sent shock waves through the news media and the American foreign-policy establishment. Now Danner has expanded his report into a brilliant book, adding new material as well as sources.

Reviews
"Mark Danner is one of our best, most ambitious narrative journalists. He writes only on what he knows deeply, cares about passionately. His harrowing, rebuking account of an atrocious episode of the civil war in El Salvador touches on many of the central issues raised by American policies and journalistic practice in the Cold War and after. This is an admirable, necessary book." -- Susan Sontag "Mark Danner's account of what happened at El Mozote is a gripping story on three levels -- that of the massacre, that of the official cover-up and that of the press. It is also a brilliant piece of writing." -- Frances FitzGerald

    The truth on El Salvador's genocide

    I bought this book because it was required reading for my history class. I came to actually enjoy it because I wasn't informed about the civil war in El Salvador, not to mention the massacre at El Mozote (hence the title). It was very informative and didn't try to pursuade the reader to one side or another. It sympathized more with the guerrilla of El Salvador, but there were many problems in that country to begin with. This book is poorly written, gramatically speaking and some of the sentences get confusing. Such as: "In part, no doubt, this was because it was just that- a position;...". If grammatical errors such as these tick you off, you'll notice many. Other than that, it's a very informative, short book that includes all of the sources and notes that end up taking half the book.

    Good description of events on El Salvador at that time

    Grisly description of the actions of the US trained Salvadorian army during the civil war and the cover up by our Dept of State in the name of freedom and democracy. Look that he old FDR " he’s a son of a bitch, but he’s our son of a bitch" is still the stone for US foreign policy
