ISBN10: 1880684047, ISBN13: 9781880684047, [publisher: Curbstone Press,U.S., St Paul, MN] Softcover Paperback. This authoritative account of the matanza narrates the circumstances leading up to the 1932 communist revolt in El Salvador, a pivotal event in Central American history. It investigates the proximate and underlying causes of the conflict and follows the progression of the rebellion and subsequent slaughter (matanza) of thousands of peasants, even those merely suspected of participating in the uprising. It provides a vivid, detailed chronicle of the revolt in various Salvadoran towns as well as the social aspects, battles, military engagements, and innumerable casualties. In light of the scarcity of first-hand information and primary sources, Anderson makes remarkable use of interviews and oral histories to develop this invaluable and searing record of injustice. A comprehensive history of the 1932 slaughter in El Salvador. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
