This is a disturbing and powerful book of photographs and writings by Jean-Marie Simon, exploring the government repression in Guatemala. Over 100,000 killings and 40,000 disappearances have occurred in this beautiful country during the past twenty years. "Jean-Marie Simon shows us the hell that is modern Guatemala, and shames any of us who may have held the lazy opinion that everything is probably more or less O.K. there."--Kurt Vonnegut.
