Buried Secrets Truth and Human Rights in Guatemala Victoria Sanford 9781403965592 Books Reviews
- My main complaint about this book is that as a whole, this book is repetitive. I understand that some of the chapters are other studies printed elsewhere and that this is a compilation of these studies by the author, but the result is a slightly-frustrating read due to the repeating information. The topic, however, deserves our attention. The genocide in Guatemala during the Guatemalan civil war is an ugly part of the history of the USA, and I think few of our citizens understand the violent legacy that we encouraged and funded through the oppressively violent and corrupt Guatemalan army. It's shameful. If you know nothing about the topic, then this book would be an appropriate place to start but be warned that some of the material is heavily repeated throughout the text.
- Great book even though it covers a pretty heavy subject. I personally read it for a class but if you enjoy international history is give it a shot.
- A most have resource for those students and experts of the Guatemalan history, human rights and Latin American issues. Dr. Sanford's research is brilliant!
- Read first few chapters. Honest and insightful by someone on the ground. I appreciated her combination of ethnographic detail and keen insights into individuals like soldiers, rebels, etc.
- I haven't gotten very far. Too much explanation to begin the book,
- Excellent book
- my bueno
- I bought this to understand what people are going through in Guatemala because of a missions trip we are taking. Slow but I am getting through it
